What 洋菓子製造、パティシエ do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
洋菓子は、大きく分けて、焼き上げたスポンジにクリームを塗ったりサンドした生菓子や、型に入れて焼き上げるが水分量の多いフルーツケーキのような半生菓子、クッキーのような焼き菓子、チョコレート製品、アイスクリーム、シャーベット等の氷菓に区分される。
洋菓子は種類によって作業内容が異なり、例えば生菓子では、まず卵、バター、砂糖、小麦粉を計量し、ミキサーなどの機械を使って混ぜ合わせ、ケーキの台となるカステラのような部分の生地づくりを行う。その後、専用の型に入れてオーブンで焼き上げ、クリームなどを塗ったり、絞ったりして形を整え、フルーツやナッツ、チョコレートなどを飾りつけて仕上げたりする。大型ミキサーや大きなオーブンを使用すれば生地は量産できるが、最後の仕上げは機械ではできないため、手作業で行う。通常、生菓子は冷凍技術の進歩によりストックも可能であるが、基本的には、その日の午前中に仕上げてその日のうちに売り切るようにする。
洋菓子店の場合は手造りの作業が中心となるが、菓子工場のラインで働く場合は機械の操作や監視が中心となる。レストランでは客の注文に応じ、様々な種類の洋菓子を美しく盛り付け客に提供する。工場生産の場合でも、洋菓子店と同じ菓子を見本にして製造するため、洋菓子職人の技術、創造性、センスが製品の出来に影響する。
