The Whoopie
Cake has landed
It is very rare that a genuinely new concept
comes to the table. But that’s exactly what
happened when the boffins at Unifine Food
& Bake Ingredients came up with a British
version of the American Whoopie Cake.
Showed on the Unifine stand for the first
time at BIE, a genuine Whoopie comprises
two moist cakes sandwiched with a filling,
then decorated. (see picture). Whoopie pies
have been around in the US for several years
according to Unifine but it is only very
recently that they have been seen in Britain.
Unifine Whoopies are filled with delicious
flavoured mousse creams in eight varieties
and with scope for many more combinations.
The Whoopies are prepared using Unifine’s
Sumix Soft, water and oil blended on a slow
speed with a paddle for 2-3 minutes. Colour
can be added to the batter or alternatively,
mix Sumix Choco, water, oil and egg in the
same way but for 4-5 minutes. The mix is
then deposited onto silicone mats and baked
at 190°C for 8-10 minutes. They need to be
really cool before filling and decorating. Sumix
Soft and Sumix Choco are available from
your usual stockists and come in 15kg sacks.

Six is the Magic
Number for
Thermo King
Thermo King achieves a magic record breaking six
year win in a row in ‘The Best Brands of 2010’
reader’s poll in the trade magazines Lastauto Omnibus,
Fernfahrer and Trans Aktuell. After being awarded first
place in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, Germany’s
commercial vehicle professionals have once again
voted Thermo King top brand in the ‘Refrigeration
Units’ category. More than 7,500 readers took part in
this year’s readers’ poll organised by the three key trade
magazines. The poll is unique in the fact that unlike
many other European brand comparisons, it is not
conducted among a small group of trade professionals
or editors, but votes are from the industry end-users,
which underlines the value of this award. Thermo
