Scrumptious and Sustainable
As a company we are passionate about the planet and treading as softly upon it as possible in our mission to bring you delicious pastries, cakes and sweet delights. We are helped in this mission by our partnership with WasteLESS Consulting. Here are some of our the things we are doing:
Packaging
All of our boxes that we send food out for private work are made from recycled materials are recyclable and compostable
Where possible we use reusable boxes to deliver food to our regular corporate clients.
Food Waste
We hate waste so look at some of the tasty way we use left overs:
Trim Truffles
We have created the ‘Trim Truffle’ which is lovingly crafted from offcuts of brownie which we ‘trim’ to size. The trim is then mixed with orange zest, rolled into balls, filled with orange marmalade, coated in tempered chocolate and then dusted to finish. They don’t hang around long, YUM!
Apple Pies Galore
Apple and cinnamon jam made from apple trim, puff pastry off cuts from our apple custard tart
We are always looking for ways to reinvent our food waste and are keeping a food waste diary so we have an understanding of what we throw away and how much.
All unavoidable food waste is sent for composting.
Energy
We have contracts in place to ensure we are using 100% green electricity by November 2019. This is once our current contract ends.
Cleaning Materials & Kitchen Supplies
We use environment friendly washing up liquid, sanitiser and hard surface cleaner from Zenith Hygenie which comes in recycled packaging.
We use reusable cloths and sponges which are cleaned and sanitised
Our milk comes in bottles and wherever possible we try to avoid buying ingredients packaged in plastic.
