Intermediate - Baking Class (C2522)

A: 云云,上周你来上课了吗?教了些什么?
yúnyun, shàngzhōu nǐ lái shàngkè le ma? jiāo le xiē shénme?
Yunyun, did you go to classes last week? What did they teach?
B: 曲奇饼干,你没来?
qǔqíbǐnggān, nǐ méi lái?
Cookies. You didn't go?
A: 我去同学聚会了,曲奇饼干难做吗?
wǒ qù tóngxuéjùhuì le, qǔqíbǐnggān nán zuò ma?
I went to a party with classmates. Are cookies hard to make?
B: 我觉得比蛋糕简单,先把面粉鸡蛋黄油和水按比例搅拌,做成一个面团再压扁,然后用各种模具压出各种造型,最后用烤箱180度烤15分钟。
wǒ juéde bǐ dàn'gāo jiǎndān, xiān bǎ miànfěn jīdàn huángyóu hé shuǐ àn bǐlì jiǎobàn, zuòchéng yīgè miàntuán zài yābiǎn, ránhòu yòng gèzhǒng mújù yāchū gèzhǒng zàoxíng, zuìhòu yòng kǎoxiāng yībǎibāshí dù kǎo shíwǔ fēnzhōng.
I think they are easier than cake. First, you mix the right amount of flour, eggs, butter and water together, and make it into a dough which you then press down. After that, you use all kinds of cookie molds to cut out all kinds of shapes. Lastly, you use the oven to bake them for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
A: 哇,你记忆力真好。今天我们学慕斯蛋糕?
wā, nǐ jìyìlì zhēn hǎo. jīntiān wǒmen xué mùsī dàn'gāo?
Whoa, your memory is really good. Today, are we making a mousse cake?
B: 嗯,据说慕斯蛋糕挺复杂的。要先做蛋糕胚,再根据个人口味做上面的慕斯,最主要还要放入冰箱几个小时后才算完成。
ng4, jùshuō mùsī dàn'gāo tǐng fùzá de. yào xiān zuò dàn'gāopēi, zài gēnjù gèrén kǒuwèi zuò shàngmian de mùsī, zuì zhǔyào háiyào fàngrù bīngxiāng jǐgè xiǎoshí hòu cái suàn wánchéng.
Uh-huh. They say that mousse cakes are complicated. First, you need to make the sponge cake. Then make the mousse according to individual taste. The main thing is that you also need to put it into the refrigerator for a few hours to finish it.
A: 我打算做个抹茶味的,给我爸爸生日时候用。
wǒ dǎsuàn zuò gè mǒchá wèi de, gěi wǒ bàba shēngrì shíhou yòng.
I plan to make a matcha-flavoured one to give to my dad on his birthday.
B: 我做个卡通的给我女儿吃。

I am going to make a cartoon one for my daughter.

gěi wǒ kànkan nǐ zuò de, hā hā hā, zhèshì xǐyángyáng? zěnme wǒ juéde xiàng huītàiláng a?
