This one is for the ladies.
What the hell is it about baking that you women love so much?

A fuck load of women are taking pastry classes at my college.

Every pastry person at my work has been a woman.

Random ass qt girl I met was a pastry chef.

Is messing around with the dough that much fun or something?

I see baking as something to be done on the side because it takes too damn long. (to be honest I'm not that good at baking, I always forget to add in something to the dough/batter)

Also, every guy in that baking class is pretty damn effeminate or gay.

Insights, thoughts?

I'll agree that they look pretty.

I've always known women were more into baking, but one day a pastry chef came into our class and left two pies and said have at it.

I took a bite (it was fucking amazing by the way) and I was done. However, all the women in the class flocked to them. Even our chef professor, who is a woman, noticed that, and it made me curious.

Many women are more into sweet food like fruit, candy and pastry, while many men are more into savoury or more pungent foods.
It could stem from the old hunter-gatherer society, or maybe not.
Of course, there's also lots of carnivore women and men with a sweet tooth.

I like baking because it gives me all the joy of making delicious food, and the smells are so sweet and filling, it's like eating for hours. If I decorate them and make them super cute, I can extend that time even longer

Surprisingly, I don't actually like the taste of baked goods, just the process of baking them. In fact, I throw my baked items in the trash (muh waistline), but that's why I bake

IMO? Women are very detail oriented, clean, neat and precise, which are all very good qualities for baking and patisserie. Men tend to think, adjust fast, and cook from a basic "instinct" where they can fix and adjust the recipe on the fly, where as women have more of a rigid sturdy schedule of order. I could go on more, but shit, you can figure this out for yourself

Anonymous Sat Feb 28 04:54:18 2015 No.6276661

Women have no sense of moderation. When people making jokes, they know that men do not go on laughing indefinitely. If they get too carried away by their success in entertaining and man and overdo their role, their comedy will fall flat. But no matter how long you go on with your antics, women will ask for more. I suppose one can say that women stuff themselves with far more pleasures than men. And it seems natural that women are likely to pick up the art of making something sweet.

I talked plenty to a girl who liked to bake. What she said she was listening to music or reading when she was waiting. It was the process she really liked. She said she only ate a piece of the cake to see if it was good and gave the rest to her family or friends. Also always baking cakes for some reason, but they were very good.

I enjoy it because of the science and process of it all. How everytime no matter if I made it yesterday or someone makes it 50 years from now itll be the exact same copy. Cooking can change from one minute to the next and requires a lot of winging it. I love making pretty things and general artistry evolved with pastry. I love sculpting with cake and tricking the eye And I love making bread too and the smell of yeast. I personally dont try everything I make because as long as I make it by the book I know its taste by smell and sight everytime Thats pretty damn cool if you ask me

Reasons I can think of:
>Mom baked? So it's easy to associate good memories, family, anticipation with baking.
>Baking requires you to stay at home for a while, if someone's a homemaker they can do this easier, especially they can do other household chores/hobbies while waiting for something to cook or be ready for the next step.
>The person who bakes is adding a special (cake eating or whatever) time to a meal, being a better provider. 'wifeymaterial' Also adding something extra to home life.
>You can show affection by bringing someone baked goods.
>Comforting smells and rituals as bait anon noted.
>Baked goods are pretty kawaii for the most part.

Every pastry chef I've ever met has been a woman too.

Typically women can't handle the stress of actual line cooking as well as men can. Pastry cooking can be stressful too, but it's not as rushed for time that something like a busy dinner service can be.

Pastry chef is also the only cooking position where you can get fat and have it not be a big deal.

Women, as the ones who are carrying, birthing, and nursing the young, have a palate more geared away from bitter things than men are. Bitter compounds in nature are generally indicative of poisonous things, so having women avoid them would make evolutionary sense. A woman wouldn't want to poison the child she's either carrying or nursing, after all.
This, likewise, likewise is why children's palates are geared to like sweet things as well-it keeps them away from plants containing poisonous things at a time when they are most vulnerable to them.

Research has been done about this and it's theorized that women tend to go for pastry jobs because they don't require the grueling hours a typical chef would experience. Pastry chefs largely work in the morning and midday and are done at a reasonable hour. Cooks and chefs are stuck at work until ungodly hours. 2, 3, even 4 in the morning sometimes. This is not acceptable to a lot of women. If they want to have kids and play the part of mom, they can't get away with working the same type of gig that men do. It's too time demanding. No holidays, late nights, exhausting work. You'll be hard pressed to find women who will want to do a chef gig in a certain age bracket.

No, both genders' palates change when they grow up in regards to bitter foods.
It's just that men's palates tend to change more significantly and earlier, around the onset of puberty, while women's palates tend to change a little at puberty and more significantly later in life as their childbearing years come to a close.

Again, all of this makes evolutionary sense if you think about it.

You need to dial it down a bit, bruce. Instead of reciting lines like "I definitely am attracted to icky, terrifying vaginas" as though you memorized a line from a play, you should instead act as though you ARE attracted to women.

idk, I'm female and I have no interest in going into pastry

that said, it was what I initially planned on getting into before I actually got into the industry, when I was still planning on going to culinary school.

They are though, basically mounds of sugar in a bit of lard and flour. If this were the 1950s, we'd tell women to get very good at baking, but NEVER eat their own cake or they won't fit into their dresses. Take a picture, put it in the family album, and give the cake to a dog

Cakes contain carbs(55%) and fat(40%) and even a little protein. All three things that you need the most. Have it with some milk and you're getting a good amount of all three macros. You could hit your RDA eating just milk, cake and sauteed/steamed veggies.

This is the reason for me. Baking and cooking are so different for me, in fact I find cooking to be a chore and baking is a relaxing hobby.

Cookery is fluid and dynamic and fast-paced and is generally more forgiving with room to experiment and play-by-ear. I really just don't feel inspired enough to enjoy the process and just want to get from A -> B quickly to get it over with so I can fucking get food on the table.

Baking never feels rushed, its calculated and reliable once you master the techniques involved and you know everything that gets you from A -> B in advance. The end result is less about eating ASAP and more about creating an small perfect confection that looks and tastes amazing. It feels like using alchemy to turn common ingredients into an edible gold centerpiece. There is more time to reflect on a beautiful confection or loaf of bread because its not about creating a pornographic hot pile to be devoured and raped and licked off the fingers. Its about giving birth to a cute child that you adorn in baubles finery and send her off to entertain the pallets of those who experience her sweet tenderness.

>One day he shows up at work with a gallon of blueberries he picked before coming in
>Asks who wants pie the next day

This opened Pandora's Pie Box in the office.
>Every week for the rest of his time there he brings in something he baked

Maybe that was the reason for it (which is still somehow horrifically devious to me), but damn, that guy could bake.

I think a better question is why are all the women who aren't 10/10 fat bakers so incompetent at cooking that they can't even fucking make scrambled eggs?

Almost every girl I've met outside of my family is fucking amazed that I can cook a regular breakfast without setting anything on fire. The only girls I've met who can actually cook almost exclusively cook sugary treats and breads, and almost all of them are 300+ pounds.

Cake contains a fuck ton of sugar, more carbs in the form of flour, more sugar, and some butter, and more sugar.

Rice on the other hand, has less sugar, B vitamins, as well as some other vitamins and minerals. Some fiber as well for some varieties of rice. Although high in carbs, rice is not completely worthless-tier, like pastries, which should be viewed as art, not food

Why are you so defensive? One of the best cake decorators and domestic goddess, Christine McDonnell, says she does not eat her cakes.

> McConnell rarely eats what she makes—“The last thing you want to do is eat them once you’ve inhaled all that powdered sugar,” she reasons—so she pops ’round to her neighbors’ and occasionally terrifies their children with her eye-popping cakes.

Would be better if the neighborhood children did not get fat. She can photograph her art cake, and then have that be the end of it

It's funny that you think there's only one person talking to you. You're the only one who's defensive. You must have a bad eating disorder too since you seem to think cakes make you fat magically. Nothing but cakes all day yes probably, but in moderation it will do absolutely nothing at all.

Rice is a marginal food as far as nutrition goes, I agree, but it still beats out cake, which is downright bad. When with white rice, at least it's just a moderate amount of carbs. With cake, it's just mounds and mounds of sugar. Sugar is fun to mix with butter, the fluffy texture is so pretty. I couldn't imagine foisting it into anyone's bodies though.

I do like pies and tarts for that reason, only I spoon the filings out and throw away the crust. I do admit I actually eat my crustless cheesecakes, no throwing away there.

It's too bad you must not think I am a "real" baker (whatever that means) because of my eating habits. I eat adequately so supplementing my diet this way is not necessary. It's common even of professional bakers to not eat their own products.

No. The reason you're not a real baker because you only think baking involves tons of wheat flour and sugar. You complain about how awful flour and sugar and shit are for you, but you admit to eating cheesecakes which are pretty much just sugar, carbs and fat, cream cheese is really fattening and worse for you than wheat or flour. Also, yea professionals bake for others, obviously they don't eat the shit they sell, you on the other hand are just a waste of space with a more narrow view of baked goods than my urethra.

Try actually learning how to bake healthy instead of acting like a disgusting 50s housewife.

Cream cheese, like butter, is mostly fat. Fat is okay. It's the sugar/carbs that you have to watch out for.

Besides, I'm pretty sure the real 1950s housewives didn't eat their baked goods. Notice how in all pictures from that time period, the woman is holding a freshly baked pie or cake, but is never seen with a fork eating it?

Ever notice how a wife is valued for how well she cooks, never for how well she eats?

I googled around a bit because I was curious too. I found general agreement on the perception of bitter tastes (and most others) decreasing with age, but only really this one on gender differences over a large range of ages:
informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00016480260046418
Which says:
>From the third decade onwards, female subjects had significantly lower thresholds compared to males for sour taste in about half of the age groups and for salty and bitter tastes in some age groups. In contrast, for 18- and 19-year-old subjects, the gustatory thresholds of male subjects were lower than those of female subjects.

So, maybe?

More general gender differences in taste perception:
sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0197458081900415
chemse.oxfordjournals.org/content/15/4/485.short

Other than that, there are plenty of studies that show strong links between role models and repeated exposure in encouraging kids to eat bitter things, and as I mentioned, a fair few suggesting decreasing bitter sensitivity as a physical rather than just preferential change:

PROP sensitivity (a bitter compound that shows up in things like brassicas - sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S003193840500497X):

He's right though, modern studies keep coming out to show that fats of all kinds are good for us and don't increase cholesterol or weight.

The "dietary fat = bad" shit came out in like the 60s in a limited, not too unbiased set of studies and we have been taking it for granted for years. This country has been "non-fat" food campaign since the 80's and we have only become fatter. We also work-out and exercise as a nation more than anyone else (and certainly more than we did 50-100 years ago) and still as a supposedly 1st world health-conscious nation we continue to get fatter and fatter on average.

Sugar and refined carbs = insulin resistance and diabetes = insatiable hunger = sky-high glycogen levels = fat as shit.
