The Bakery and Confectionary scene in Leeds and Nottingham are currently thriving, and BFP is proud to supply ingredients some of the regions most respected and known establishments.
Classic favourited with a modern twist
We explored several bakeries in these two cities including our existing customers and some prospectus clients. In Leeds, visits to bakeries including Marshalls Bakehouse, Baked, Doh’hut and Grantham’s highlighted the city’s vibrant approach to baking, with classic favourited and modern twists proving equally popular. It was evident a particular standout sweet treat across some of these bakeries, was the ever-popular, Vanilla slice. Bakers can recreate this classic using our Puff Pastry Sheets (FRZ00483), paired with our Custard mix (IRK00026) and Vanilla frosting (GEM00065).
Nottingham's Creative Baking Scene
Nottingham showcased a different side of the industry, with modern concepts from businesses like Wollaton Bakes, Public and Plants and Tough Mary that are refining customer expectations through creative sweet and savoury combinations. Sweet-filled croissants are particularly popular in the city, which can be crafted using our Bridor butter croissants (FRZ00477) filled with a sweet raspberry cream filling (BAK00029) and topped with our frozen raspberries (FRZ00486).
Trending Treats: From Vanilla Slices to Viral Cookie Dough Creations
Viral Cookie dough slices and Cookie dough cakes are also proving to be a social media and customer favourite, often reimagined with unique toppings and flavour twists that reflect on current trends. These can be recreated using our toppings such as out Soupleese milk chocolate flavour compound coating (DAW00170), our Belcolade milk chocolate chips (CCP00220) alongside our milk chocolate beans (CCP00346) for an indulgent finish.
As trends continue to evolve, Leeds and Nottingham demonstrate how bakeries can successfully balance tradition with innovation. BFP is proud to play a part in that journey, providing the ingredients that help bakers bring their ideas to life.
