Download Bako Bite December 2012 - Bako Western

The weather gets no better but trade seems to be OK.
Christmas Cheer from Chris
Soup, hot tea and coffees, pork baps ready for the lunch time trade
keep customers coming to your door and with Christmas now only
4 weeks away its time to fill the shop with seasonal goods.
Bako Western’s mincemeat, from 3 different suppliers, gives you
the choice to make a range of Christmas favourites adding liquor,
crumb or other additions to make your cake that bit special. The
new Bako Celebration Cake Mix being much cheaper than a
branded product allows you to make a Christmas tray bake, or
Christmas Cake at a favourable price to put in your shop and
compete with the multiples with similar lines. It keeps well, tastes
great, and saves you pounds!! Finish it off with Bako Marzipan and
Bako Sugar Paste; the job could not be easier. Try just covering the
cake with Marzipan or just selling the cake base, all have a market!!
Customer services have a great range of decorations while stocks
last, with a lot of the products being shown in the last two month’s
Bako Bite. Try covering a Christmas cake in chocolate sugar paste,
it tastes and looks great!! As always if you are buying pastry shells
to use as a base for your tarts, please keep a couple of spare boxes
in your deep freeze, as our suppliers tend to run short the nearer
the 25th December gets.
Bako Cake Mixes
Below is the delivery schedule for the Christmas deliveries. Please
take a moment to look at it, Bako Western are very good at getting
the deliveries just right over the holiday period, but if we need to
help in some way please ring Bako Transport or me and we will see
what we can do. The customer services staff will be ringing days
ahead in some cases, to get the orders collated and sent to you.
Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank
you for your help.
With my Master Bakers, Western Region hat on, a fabulous time
was had by all who attended the 125 years of the Master Bakers
Federation celebrations at the Guild Hall in London in October.
700 guests enjoyed fine wine and food with a Bakery twist to it.
Bako Western Members gave the festivities good support, it was
good to see everyone there, and I even got Bako Western’s boss
and Mrs to go, result!!
Thank you for your trade, support and friendship in this somewhat
difficult trading year, let’s hope next year at least the sun might
shine and folk will visit us in droves.
A very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year from all who are
proud to work for Bako Western.
Regards Chris Bako
