Justin Willman (Cupcake Wars) serves as Last Cake Standing competitor Jörg Amsler airbrushes beautiful color onto his team’s “Monster Cake” in episode one. host, with the judging panel led by notable faces of the ever-popular Food Network Challenge: renowned pastry chef and Denverbased owner of D Bar Desserts, Keegan Gerhard, along with celebrated cake designer and master sugar artist, Kerry Vincent. The Last Cake Standing competitors include Jorg Amsler of Truly Jorg’s in Saugus, MD; Jason Ellis of Top Tiers in Glen Cove, NY; Nikita “Nikki J” Jackson of Absolutely Edible Cakes & Catering in Rowlett, TX; Kaysie Lackey of The People’s Cake in Seattle; Richard Ruskell of Montage Resort in Los Angeles; Joshua John Russell of Highland Bakery in Atlanta; Orlando Serrano of Orlando Serrano Cakes in Chicago; and Marina Sousa of Just Cakes in Capitola, CA.

Deli Added to 2012 Atlantic Bakery Expo 2012 Atlantic Bakery Expo is set for March 18-19, 2012, and will be adding deli/prepared foods, cheese and salty snack categories to their show, according to Ken Downey, Director of Bakery for Kings Super Markets and ABE Show Committee Member. “During these tough economical times, we have realized as an organization that our over 6,000 retailer attendees have or need to expand into other avenues. We will be aggressively seeking Deli/Prepared Foods, Cheese and Salty Snack manufactures to join us in this venture and fulfill this void,” he said. “Our attendees from all over the east coast should be prepared to view not only the newest items in these categories, but also learn about additional sales opportunities and distribution solutions to fill their needs.” If you are a manufacturer in the bakery, deli/prepared foods, cheese or salty snack categories, please contact www.info@ abe2012.com to learn more.

Following increased consumer demand for products that are lower in saturated fats and in anticipation of new European measures, Barry Callebaut now offers a wide range of filling and coating applications with significantly lower saturated fat content. Over the past few years, Barry Callebaut has been taking major steps to dramatically reduce the use of hardened (hydrogenated) fats in its confectionery fillings and coatings while still maintaining the high standards of taste and quality for which the company is renowned. To put this reduction in perspective, the hydrogenated fat content of Barry Callebaut products has been reduced from 47% to 20% in just 8 years. Barry Callebaut has also drastically reduced the trans-fatty-acid content of all vegetable oils in use since 2002 (from 6.1% to 1.3%). As a result, practically all trans-fatty-acids have been eliminated from the vast majority of its products. 10 · BAKING BUYER · APRIL 11 http://www.www.info@abe2012.com http://www.www.info@abe2012.com
