Hello there! I’m a baker and I know how hard it is to manage everything on your own. No work life balance at all hahaha. But trust me it’s worth it . Try using gelatine in your whipped cream to stabilise it. There are plenty of videos on YT about it. Good luck and have fun trying it

Thank you!!! Hopefully your dream will come true :-)

(whipped cream wall of text incoming I apologise) Whipped cream made with siphons really tend to be the least stable because they incorporate a lot of air. Xanthan and guar gum will help like others have mentioned - if you can get your hands on food grade methylcellulose (HPMC) that'll help a lot too. Modernist Pantry has a premixed foam stabiliser called Foam Magic that works really well if you don't want spend too much time experimenting. Whisk your stabiliser super well into the powdered sugar, then also whisk the powdered sugar really well with the cream until it's all dissolved (gums really like to stick together lump up so you want to make sure it's well distributed as it hydrates). Let it sit to fully hydrate before using and shake before each use (and ofc keep it cold). If you add a lot of stabiliser it's better to have a separate siphon without for drinks bc the cream won't melt into them as nicely. As for the other recommendations (yogurt, mascarpone, cream cheese etc.): anything that stays fluid/flows will work with a siphon. Basically if you shake it and can feel the liquid sloshing around it should work, but you might have to play around with the ratios to get a final texture you like. I've made a super fluffy boba style cream cheese foam before. You can even put cheese sauce in there to make nacho cheese foam 😂. I also use it to foam up cake batter for sponge cake regularly. Whipping cream by hand and using a piping bag is really the best way because you can make a dense foam that'll hold a lot longer (much more luxurious eating experience too). It'll depend on your recipe but properly stabilised cream can be prepped ahead and last 1-3 days. We use a soft whipped cream at work for dolloping on french toast/waffles/pancakes that gets prepped in the morning and lasts all day.

Hi! I’m also a business owner and I was wondering what are your thoughts on hiring a cook or soups chef to help during the day or at night? If your stuff is selling out it means people like it and paying for someone will bring more revenue and keep customers happy knowing that all products are always available! Plus you get to delegate work and avoid burn out and it can allow you to grow that one cafe and even expand in the near future

@destrucshann

Hi Samantha! We don’t have a proper kitchen and it feels silly to hire a cook/baker on our makeshift one 😭 But all of our baristas bake and we have since put in a system so that we can make sure our items are stocked! Currently scouting a second location so that’s exciting (maybe there we can hire a chef!) :-)

love watching your videos :) A tip that may or may not be useful - in the past for whipped cream, we would put 40-50g of vanilla syrup into the canister & then add heavy whip. Made it super fast & easy. For a stabilizer, I would start with a little bit of guar gum or xanthan gum & see how that does. Also, in my area, we can Instacart Costco & Sam's Club - it cost a little more in fees/tip, but it could be worth it for your time.

@destrucshann

We are using the same whipping siphon at our cafe, but instead two of the nitrogen things per bottle. That means we are putting the nitrogen in and the second just goes right in after that. And it stays attached to the bottle so it’s easier to hold when spraying it. And of course keep it in the fridge. So maybe that could stabilize the cream more in your case :)

@@destrucshann living in Panama, but before in Europe...I know the problem of the heat. Starch is tricky as you can feel it afterwards on the tongue, don't take more than 1/2 tsp per 1/4 litre. Gelatine is good, but takes time and little experience. You can also do a pudding with egg, mix gelatine in and then mix it in whipped cream. So you can change the flavour, too. I take all three- starch, gelatine and egg made pudding- and then cool it down in the fridge once, gives me the possiblity to keep it out for an evening/dinner party. Else it wouldn't resist the heat for more than 10 minutes.

Not sure if this is something you've tried, but I've seen some people use agar agar or gelatine to help stabilize whipped cream. Although I don't know if it would work with the extruder 🤔 Maybe a little pudding mix might help? It's not exactly gelatin and won't harden up in the fridge, and it's supposed to be a nice creamy texture. Might even add a nice lil flavor 🤷 I'd love to know if you try it and how it goes!
