Viva Questions Preparation for Confectionery and Bakery (256)

Objective: To prepare for viva questions related to Confectionery and Bakery (256) practicals.

Sample Questions and Answers:

Q1: Why is yeast important in bread making?
A: Yeast ferments sugar, producing carbon dioxide to make dough rise, resulting in soft bread.
Q2: How does folding affect puff pastry?
A: Folding creates layers of butter and dough, which expand during baking for a flaky texture.
Q3: What makes a sponge cake light and fluffy?
A: Beating eggs and sugar incorporates air, and gentle folding retains air for a light texture.
Q4: Why is consistency important in butter icing?
A: Proper consistency ensures icing spreads easily and holds decorative shapes.
Q5: What is the role of cream in chocolate ganache?
A: Cream melts chocolate and creates a smooth, glossy texture for coating or filling.

Conclusion: Preparing viva answers enhances practical understanding and exam confidence.
