front linenews HEADLINES IN BAKERY & DELI & RETAIL Dawn to Unveil Cake Boss-Inspired Cakes cakes will be available this summer at bakeries, grocery stores and warehouse clubs nationwide. Fondant iced cakes will be unveiled this fall, marking the first time fondant has been used in mass production in the US. The Cake Boss cakes join a hugely successful ready-tosell cake industry, which makes up an estimated $2.8 billion in sales according to IDDBA’s What’s in Store 2012. The ready-to-sell cakes and cupcakes will be available year-round in an array of designs and flavors. Keeping with Buddy’s time-honored quality and modern innovative techniques, the Cake Boss-branded cakes and packaging will incorporate the old world charm of his renowned bakery, Carlo’s Bakery. “I have been working hand-in-hand with Dawn Foods to recreate some of my popular designs from the show in local bakeries and supermarkets,” Valastro says. “The ready-to-sell cakes are perfect for fans of the show who want to taste one of my cakes, but may not be able to visit Carlo’s Bakery.” “We are thrilled to be partnering with TLC and the Cake Boss himself,” says Kirk Trofholz, Dawn Foods US Bakery Products president. “At Dawn we are always looking for innovative concepts to bring value to the instore bakery, and this is exactly the kind of thing that gets our customers excited.” Although this partnership is a new venture for all parties, the relationship between Dawn Foods and Buddy Valastro is a longstanding one. Carlo’s Bakery has used Dawn Foods as a supplier of high-quality bakery ingredients for more than 20 years. Gearing up for its fifth season, Cake Boss follows fourth-generation baker Buddy Valastro and his family-owned business in Hoboken, NJ. The series takes viewers behind the scenes of Carlo’s Bakery as Buddy and his family create extraordinary cakes, while dealing with the dynamics that come with a larger-than-life family. Cake Boss returns with all-new episodes beginning this summer on TLC. Discovery Communications, Inc. has announced a licensing agreement with Dawn Foods to create a line of ready-to-sell cakes inspired by the hit TLC series Cake Boss. Accomplished master baker, cake decorator and star of Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro has worked closely with Dawn Foods to create a unique selection of celebration and dessert cakes based on his personal recipes and designs featured on the show. Coinciding with the highly anticipated return of new episodes of Cake Boss, a selection of buttercream iced Lloyd Pans Answers the Call Since 1999, Lloyd Pans has quietly supplied the commercial baking and pizza industries with high-quality baking pans and pizza tools sold through its website, www. lloydpans.com. But the company made a recent public splash by fulfilling the order of a large pizza chain that needed quality pizza pans, and needed them quickly. W h e n a D o m i n o ’s P i z z a restaurant chain in Australia needed 700,000 pans on a tight deadline, pan companies in Australia and China could not turn around an order this large in the short time frame. In stepped Lloyd Pans, a Spokane Valley, WA, pan manufacturer. The company started fulfilling the order before its competitors submitted their quotes. In the end, Lloyd Pans completely fulfilled the order on time and within budget. For more than 20 years, Lloyd has supplied the baking industry with complete lines of cake pans, bread pans, sheet pans, pie pans and tools. | 10 | inStorebuyer | May 2012 | http://www.lloydpans.com
