This is a great revision tool for the up and coming exam. Remember to be able to successfully identify a fault you need to be able to understand the function of the ingredients. Which ingredient causes a cake to rise? Which ingredients are responsible for the structure in the cake? What causes the texture to be closed or open in a cake.

Each time you look at a recipe you should ask yourself what the purpose of each ingredient is and how it contributes to the final product.
