Custom Bakery Muffins

Muffin Batter

The most flexible format – simply thaw, scoop and bake. Available in several bucket sizes for better control of usage and storage, or pouches for greater cost effectiveness. Other options include muffin batter bases where you add your choice of premiums or toppings at store level for a unique touch.

Predeposits

Convenience and consistency with the ability to add a custom touch with your choice of toppings. Place frozen pre-portioned pucks of batter in pans, thaw, then bake.

Thaw and Serve

Uniformity and predictability – a simple way to offer delectable baked goods. Many different size options available.
