“We’re not surprised by the BFFF’s latest report and the fact that sales of frozen are growing – during the twenty years Tipiak Foodservice has been supplying chefs with quality frozen macarons and sweet patisserie, we’ve experienced increasing demand first hand. We expect this to continue as more pubs and restaurants look to open up their customer base and create a point of difference – be it through afternoon tea offerings, adding value by serving mini sweets alongside hot drinks, or tapping into the profitable private events market where our hand-finished gourmet products work incredibly well.

Patisserie requires a level of skill and patience to ensure a high quality, consistent result and this is where working with a frozen food supplier such as Tipiak pays dividends. Operators don’t need a pastry chef in the kitchen, and with a range that includes our famous gluten-free macarons and eye-catching Pop Éclairs, it’s easy to bring French flair to menus and wow customers. The fact our products defrost in just a few hours also means costly wastage is kept to a minimum.”
