charlie, creaming actually takes place in the two-stage method too! do check out what i wrote about understanding the cake baking process in the cake bible as i know it will interest you. and in some of the out-cakes and you tube segments you will see how the batter looks after beating. eventually, when i get a chance to do more dvd's i'll be sure to include the entire mixing process of the layer cake.
thank you!

Rose,
I love your new book...
I first fell in love with your Bread Bible and I'm currently baking my way thru it... every friday I quadruple your recipe for Ciabiatta bake it into two big loaves for my families shabbat table - Heaven!
I so appreciated your Times article because for the last few weeks Ive been reading as much as I can about cakes and cake science... Im still confused about the roll of eggs... when do you beat them in slowly.. when do you whip them and why.. but I hope to get to the bottom of it all on day :)
Thanks for sharing your storehouse of information -
One request can you please post on creaming.. its such a vital step in common reciepes (I know I know .. you use the two-stage) but just for educating the masses just so we know what well beaten butter looks like... some pictures please!
With LOVE and Thanks..
Charlie

Congrats Rose - excellent article. Never knew that those ancient Egyptians were cake eaters. I found your choice of web links useful. Some of course I recognized such as Butteryum and Heavenly Cake Place!

kathleen, i can't imagine a nicer compliment--and you are the very first to respond!
it was a huge undertaking to condense or synthesize everything i know feel, and think about cakes into 2000 words--a great challenge that i'm glad i attempted as it made me see things more clearly as well.
best,
rose

I'm very impressed, Rose. My favorite cake book author writing for my favorite newspaper. And this article is the best primer on cakes I have every read. Kudos!
