As National Cream Tea Day approaches on Friday June 28th, it's the perfect opportunity to indulge in the delightful tradition of cream tea, and what better way to celebrate than with a visit to one of our great bakers?

And then there's the great debate: clotted cream or jam first? At BFP, we believe there’s no wrong way to enjoy a scone. We encourage you to experiment with both styles! Try the traditional Cornish method with jam first, topped with a dollop of rich clotted cream, or go the Devon way with clotted cream first, crowned with a spoonful of jam. Whichever order you choose, you’re in for a treat. Savour this beloved British tradition, and let's make this celebration a delicious one!

What have you planned to bake and sell over the coming weekend?

Almond flakes are a versatile and delightful ingredient that can elevate the appearance and taste of your pastries and bakes. Their delicate texture and subtle nutty flavour provide a perfect finishing touch, adding both visual appeal and a satisfying crunch. Whether you're sprinkling them over a freshly baked cake, incorporating them into a batch of cookies, or using them as a garnish for a decadent tart, almond flakes can transform your creations from ordinary to extraordinary.

One of the greatest advantages of using almond flakes is their ability to complement a wide range of flavours. They pair beautifully with chocolate, fruits, and spices, making them an ideal addition to various baked goods. For instance, a sprinkle of almond flakes on top of a chocolate ganache cake not only enhances its aesthetic but also adds a contrasting texture that makes each bite more interesting. Similarly, they can be used to top off fruit-filled pastries, such as apple or cherry pies, providing an extra layer of flavour and crunch.

The versatility of almond flakes means that your creativity is the only limit. You can toast them for a richer, deeper flavour or use them raw for a more delicate taste. They can be mixed into batters and doughs or used as a final decorative touch. Experiment with different combinations and techniques to discover how almond flakes can bring out the best in your culinary creations. The possibilities are endless, and with a little imagination, you can create stunning and delicious baked goods that will impress anyone who has the pleasure of tasting them.

In the world of pastries, innovation and creativity are as crucial as the buttery layers themselves. While the classic croissant has long been a beloved staple in bakeries worldwide, new trends are emerging that breathe fresh life into this timeless treat. One such trend is the “flat croissant,” a delightful twist that offers the same flaky, buttery goodness in a more convenient, easy-to-eat form. Imagine a flat croissant topped with a vibrant pistachio glaze, providing a nutty richness that perfectly complements the pastry's delicate texture.

Another exciting trend is the “bun 'n' roll”. This hybrid pastry combines the best of both worlds, with the croissant’s light, airy layers and a classic roll. Picture a bun 'n' roll studded with freeze-dried raspberries, adding a burst of tartness and a pop of colour. The freeze-dried raspberries not only enhance the flavour but also provide a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft, flaky layers of the pastry.

Our own brand flours come from a miller with a proud history. BFP seek out the very best for our own brand, and we are proud of our partners.

It's National Doughnut Week and here at BFP we have everything to create, fill and decorate the most elaborate doughnut's.

World Baking Day is a celebration of the joy and creativity that baking brings into our lives. Held annually, this special day invites everyone, from novice home bakers to seasoned professional bakers, to roll up their sleeves and create something wonderful in their bakery / kitchens. The heart of this event lies in sharing these delicious creations with others, promoting not only the art of baking but also a sense of community and togetherness. Bakers around the globe take pride in their craft daily, but World Baking Day shines a spotlight on their skills and encourages more people to discover the pleasures of baking.

This day is not only about making delectable treats; it's also about experimenting with new recipes, learning techniques, and perhaps most importantly, having fun. Whether it’s bread, cakes, cookies, or pies, each creation is a testament to the love and effort that goes into baking. World Baking Day serves as a reminder of the simple joys of life—such as the smell of freshly baked bread or the smile on someone's face when they try a slice of your perfect caramel blondie.

Now in stock with BFP. Summer trending vegan raspberry croissants from Bridor. Perfect them with a topping of our new Sosa Moisture resistant crispy raspberry pieces.

As World Fairtrade Day dawns upon us, it presents a timely reminder of the collective journey toward more ethical consumption and production practices. The Albex Group to which BFP also belongs, stands at the forefront of this movement, championing the cause by prioritising suppliers who are committed to fair trade policies. This commitment is especially evident in their choice of sugar and chocolate products, commodities often mired in discussions about ethical sourcing. As the world grows increasingly conscious of the impact of its buying habits, consumers are more vigilant than ever, actively seeking out products that align with their values of good practice and environmental stewardship.

Celebrating World Fairtrade Day is not just about acknowledging the efforts made so far; it's a call to action for the food industry and beyond to intensify their support for fair trade. This initiative has the power to transform lives and landscapes across the globe. By ensuring that farmers and workers receive fair compensation, fair trade policies help to alleviate poverty, promote sustainability, and foster a healthier planet. Moreover, these practices encourage more responsible production methods, reducing the environmental footprint of the goods we consume daily.

The food industry, in particular, is undergoing a significant transformation, with an increasing number of businesses adopting fair trade practices. This shift not only supports the people who grow and produce our food but also contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world. As consumers continue to champion fair trade, they drive the demand for more transparent and ethical business practices, paving the way for a future where everyone, regardless of where they are in the supply chain, is treated fairly and with respect. Celebrating World Fairtrade Day is a celebration of this progress and a reminder of the work that still lies ahead in our quest to support the people and planet we call home.

The impact of personal contribution towards the growth of a business, especially a bakery, in today's economic climate cannot be overstated. There's a unique satisfaction that comes from knowing your efforts and inputs have directly contributed to the success and expansion of a local bakery. This could manifest in a variety of ways, from implementing cost-saving measures to advising on product diversification or improvement. The bakery industry, with its reliance on both tradition and innovation, offers a fertile ground for applying such insights to foster growth and resilience.

In the context of cost savings, identifying areas where a bakery can reduce expenses without compromising on quality is crucial. This could involve negotiating better prices with BFP and our suppliers for repeat business, reducing waste, or optimising operations for efficiency. Each pound saved not only boosts the bottom line but also enhances the bakery's ability to compete in a challenging market. On the other hand, offering advice on product offerings—such as introducing trendy or niche items, catering to dietary restrictions, or simply perfecting classic recipes with multiple ingredient options—can attract a wider customer base and increase sales volumes.

Watching our bakery customers flourish as a result of these contributions is immensely gratifying. It's not just about the financial markers of growth but also about the role the bakery plays in the community. A successful bakery becomes a gathering place, a site of culinary delight, and a testament to the power of thoughtful, strategic advice coupled with hard work and passion. The joy of seeing bakers expand their operations, hire more staff, or even open new locations, all while knowing BFP and our staff played a part in their journey, underscores the value of expertise and collaboration in the bakery world. It's a clear reminder that in the right hands, thoughtful advice and practical support can bake up success, even in the most challenging economic conditions.
