Q&A

Why did you create this recipe for the trend Mindfulness Matters?

Going vegan is predicted to be one of the biggest food trends in the coming years. I love to use our vegan mixes and show to our customers that you can create the same or sometimes even better tasting sweet bakes when compared with the original. I chose Opera Cake because of it’s versatility and as already mentioned, it is one my favourite sweet bakes.

Any tips and tricks for this recipe?

My advice to bakers looking into this recipe is to have fun and be creative with your flavour choice. While I have chosen chocolate and pistachio, feel free to explore different flavour combinations that work with the season and trends of today. Also, using vegan alternative ingredients should not be a challenge with Dawn’s vegan portfolio. Simply swap a vegan cake mix with the traditional mix to avoid all the trial and error or complicated substitutions.

What bakery trends are you seeing in your market?

In the Philippines, I see a lot more use of natural ingredients and keeping the bakery product simple in terms of flavours.
