The Art of Delicious Displays:

Crafting an Exceptional Bakery Cabinet

August 2023

Introduction

The art of catching the consumer's eye and enticing them to make an impulsive purchase is a carefully calculated strategy that holds immense value for both customers and store owners alike. Consumer behaviour studies have long shown that visual appeal plays a crucial role in influencing purchasing decisions. The human brain is wired to respond to visually appealing stimuli, and bakery products, with their exquisite textures, vibrant colours, and tantalizing aromas, are prime examples of such stimuli.

 The clever use of bakery display cabinets can capture customers attention (especially when tactically placed close to the point of purchase) and compel them to make impulsive purchases, ultimately boosting store profits. What's more, a satisfying product purchased once can drive a customer to purchase again the next time they visit. This psychology demonstrates why it's so important to ensure you are using trusted quality ingredients in your bakery.

The Art of Delicious Displays introduces you to our trusted Bakery Range, illustrating how our products have been made by food service experts, for bakers to ensure a quality product fills your cabinets. We have also included some of our newest and most favourite cabinet recipes to help you get started in crafting an exceptional bakery cabinet.

Bakery Product Must Haves

Our bakery range is bake and freeze-thaw stable, which means, when baked, the jam or filling is designed to withstand any changes when exposed to high temperature, or, if frozen the item will thaw without any loss of quality from its original state. We understand that baking applications can be diverse and demanding so crafting for functionality is key

Fruit Curds

Soft, creamy traditional curd made with fruit, eggs and butter. Ideal in tartlets, éclairs, choux pastry, meringue pies, muffins, friands and mousse. Our curds also make a beautiful special occasion cake, mix with cream and spread between layers. This year we introduced two new flavours, Lime and Passionfruit, to accompany our Traditional Lemon.

Vegan Caramel

Our NEW Vegan Caramel Filling is akin to our smooth, creamy and glossy Classic Crèmes range. It’s perfect to add value and excitement to scrolls, muffins and slices. This product is a great way to keep your cabinets inclusive to all customers.

Patisserie Fillings

Soft, glossy premium fruit fillings with excellent fruit structure. Ideal in any high-quality bakery or dessert application. There are 15 flavours in the range, with products available in 1.25kg piping bag or 4.5kg pail. See page 5 of our catalogue here for the full range or click the image for our product portfolio.

Fruit Fillings

A soft, glossy, economical and versatile range of fruit fillings which can be used in fruit pies, muffins, tea cakes and crumbles. Great flavour ideas for muffins and available in 12kg pails with 9 flavours in the range. See page 6 of our catalogue here for the full range or click the image for our product portfolio.

Savoury Fillings

A modern range of Savoury Fillings in eye catching colours and mouthwatering flavours ideal for use in savoury breads, muffins, quiche and pizza applications. These Savoury Fillings are perfect to mix through a savoury pie filling for a tasty hit. There are eight flavours in the range. See page 9 of our catalogue here for the full range or click the image for our product portfolio.

Breadshot Fillings

A concentrated preparation range designed for addition to a dough to add soft texture and flavour excitement to breads, buns, dinner rolls, baguettes, scones, muffins, pizza dough, etc. Our testing work incorporated approximately 10-20% preparation to dough weight, but we recommend you trial the preparations to find the ideal ‘flavour’ boost you want in your final product. We have two Breadshot flavours; Caramelised Onion and Red Pepper & Roast Garlic.

Fruit Silks®

These fillings look and taste like smooth, creamy mousse and contain real fruit. A great addition to your dessert menu with flavours full of flair such as: Lemon & Passionfruit, Mango & Vanilla Bean, Pineapple & Coconut.

Hotsett® Crèmes

A specifically designed, highly stable filling for pies which allow for a perfect cut. We recommend a specific baking regime to achieve this, so please speak with your Barker’s Professional Account Manager. We have three Hotsett Crème flavours in the range: Lemon, Mango & Blood Orange, and Passionfruit & Yuzu.
