Alan’s top tips for success.
Here are a few tips from Alan Leith, our Head Baker, to help you achieve perfect results
every time. If you need any technical advice, please contact us on 0800 085 9800
Preparation is key
Baking success
Pre-heat the oven
To the required temperature.
How to tell if it’s baked
Test if your cake is baked by placing a skewer
into the centre - if it comes out clean it’s
baked.
Prepare equipment
Prepare your baking tins by covering with
a light spray of Trennwax® Spray Extra and
lining the base with grease-proof paper.
Weigh - don’t guess!
In baking, accuracy really counts and success
depends on the ingredients being in the
correct proportions. When they are out
of balance it can affect the finished quality
and consistency, so use scales to weigh your
ingredients correctly.
Read and follow the recipes
All of our recipes have been tried and tested
by our expert bakers. Read the recipe all the
way through before you start and follow it
exactly for perfect results every time.
Portion Control
Use the correct size of tin, cake cases and
scoop to ensure products are a consistent size.
Pay attention to temperatures and times
This can have a major effect on the end
results. Ensure your oven temperature
is set correctly and use a timer.
8
When slicing cakes
Use a sharp, serrated knife with a sawing
action to ensure a clean cut. Don’t chop!
Pay attention to the cooling times
Cool cakes thoroughly before icing, filling
or wrapping.
STORAGE
Prolong shelf life
Surplus products can
be frozen and defrosted
to sell another day.
Batter and dough can
also be frozen.
Top tips for effective
merchandising...
PRODUCT DISPLAYS
Presentation is key to a successful HomeBake
programme. Think about using different types and
heights of stands to display baked goods and ensure
they are kept well stocked throughout the day. There
are a huge range of cake cases available which add
colour and visual appeal to muffins and cupcakes. Use
props to theme seasonal displays for occasions such
as Valentines Day, Easter or Halloween. Use labels to
detail product names and prices.

the day
Breakfast, morning coffee, lunch and afternoon
tea all offer opportunities to sell baked goods, from
granola bars and cookies, to cupcakes and traybakes.
Bake small batches throughout the day, letting the
delicious aroma of freshly baked goods encourage
your customers to indulge, and to communicate the
HomeBake message – ‘baked fresh today’.
special offers
Joint offers on drinks and homebakes increase
overall spend, while tasting samples of new lines
encourages trial.
OFFER FREE SAMPLES
Offer free samples to let customers try new lines or
promote slow-movers. They must be fresh, covered
and positioned close to the product for sale.
ADDING VALUE
For the perfect range, offer a mix of traditional
favourites such as sultana scones or chocolate
chip muffins alongside the latest flavour trends like
Salted Caramel Cake or Banoffee Flapjacks.
Use fillings, frostings and icings to add that extra
level of indulgence.
POINT OF SALE

such as ‘Delicious’, ‘Indulgent’ or ‘Freshly Baked’

the counter.
