Unwrapped bread weights guidance published
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has published guidance for businesses to accompany The Weights and Measures (Specified Quantities) (Unwrapped Bread and Intoxicating Liquor) Order 2011.
Max out your snacks
Working, commuting, exercising or hobbies whatever the activity, it all takes energy. So how and where do customers find a much-needed boost? The first part of the answer can be found in a 'snack' a food portion that is smaller than a regular meal, eaten between main meals and often on-the-go. If the right snack is eaten at the right time it can even out hunger spikes, give a boost between meals, and provide nutrition.
A slice of life
It's the ultimate in indulgence; a slice of cake, a square of shortbread or an oaty flapjack with a cup of tea. Neat, single-portion quick fixes of cake and other baked treats are increasingly tempting customers as the grab-and-go coffee shop culture of busy lifestyles and the sweet treat market continue to grow.
Making a Tilly Mint
If you're after a case study of how to start up a successful cake business from nothing, then look no further than Truro-based Tilly Mint Bakery. Maxine Nelson started the business in 2009 with just £126 in her pocket and, within one year, the bakery was turning over £147,000, with no grants, loans or family help.
In my world
You may have read in previous editions that I now have the honour of being president of the Alliance for Bakery Students and Trainees (ABST). I regard this as a particular privilege, as these youngsters will be the future of our industry and so I am very keen to do all I can to support and help them.
