Becoming the baker of your dreams is easy—all it takes is a healthy appetite for learning and pinch of persistence!
You don’t need a pantry full of specialty ingredients and equipment to become a great baker. You’ll quickly learn in Dessert Course that mastering a few foundational skills and understanding the whys and hows of baking science is all you need.
Benjamin Delwiche, AKA Benjamin the Baker, is a math teacher by day and renegade social media baking scientist by night. His approach to baking is inspired by his approach to teaching—he’s committed to breaking down the mystery of baking success so his audience, like his students, can become stronger and more knowledgeable.
First, you’ll learn how to break down a recipe, the essential mixing methods, and even how to re-formulate any recipe to make it work to your advantage. Let’s say you want to make chocolate chip cookies but you only have a few tablespoons of flour left—using Ben’s Baker’s Percentages technique, you’ll be able to figure out how many cookies you can make. The second half of the book showcases over 30 core recipes with variations—each one includes a flow chart so you can bake your own adventure. You’ll be able to visually understand what makes a chewy chocolate chip cookie vs a crispy one and what it will take to get to your desired destination.
Above all else, this book is a celebration of the art and science of baking: the ingredients, the recipes, and the concepts that make a baked good both technically successful and undeniably delicious.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 2021, Benjamin began posting content that focused on the whys and hows of baking. For the past 2 years, hes grown an engaged audience on TikTok (1.2M), YouTube (1.1M), and Instagram (596k). Like his classroom teaching, his videos center around explaining how baking works by offering specific examples and demonstrations. Most notably, what separates his content from the other baking and baking science videos is that it shows what happens when an ingredient substitution or a procedural step goes wrongwhether its because a creaming step was executed incorrectly or a meringue wasnt whipped properly. He goes beyond simply repeating the same explanations without the procedures to back them up. In his debut cookbook, Benjamin will apply his trademark scientific approach to home baking, offering a sort of bake your own adventure experience for readers. Beginning with the fundamentals any baker should master, Benjamin will then encourage readers to take those skills and run with them. The bulk of the book will focus on the recipes, which will be presented to encourage the reader to consider the techniques and science behind the recipe to help them customize for their desired flavor and texture outcome. Benjamin Delwiche, AKA Benjamin the Baker, is a math teacher by day and a renegade baking scientist by night. His obsession with sweets began in childhood, when he could be found devouring any cookbooks he could find. His keen interest led him to working odd jobs at local bakeries throughout his teens and college years, observing as much as possible about the craft.
