shellackers

[Luis Fok]

Shellackings are a technique used in the baking industry to prevent or control cracking and other defects in the baked goods. They involve applying a thin layer of shellac, an essential oil derived from the resin of the cedar tree, to prevent moisture from penetrating and causing the baked goods to break. Shellac is a coating that helps protect the surface of baked goods, making them more durable and longer-lasting. Shellac is also used in other industries, such as woodworking and metalwork.
