This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Tipiak-all-the-range-buffet-2-1024x683.jpg

As the new year gets under way, we have some events catering ideas from Tipiak to help with planning.

Food is generally a key part of any function, whether that’s a wedding, graduation, a summer ball or some other celebration. A buffet or a sit-down meal is a centre piece.

At Tipiak we have some great-tasting ‘thaw and serve’ products to make catering easy. We like to think of ourselves as the perfect partner in the professional kitchen.

Our range available to the UK foodservice sector via frozen food distributor Central Foods includes both sweet and savoury pâtisserie.

It features a variety of exquisitely French savoury canapés, some of which are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Plant-based dining has become so popular that some events are now making entire courses, like the hors d’oeuvres, vegan or vegetarian. This makes it easier for caterers.

Our Tipiak canapés selections are made with the finest ingredients, prepared by our expert bakers and cooks, and hand-finished. From weddings to awards, cocktail parties to conferences, we have a bite-sized delight to suit them all.

Choose from the Tipiak Vegan Cocktail Selection, the Provençal Bistro Canapés Vegetarian, the Traditional Chicago Canapés or the Luxury Temptation Canapés.

Sweet treats

Our events catering ideas from Tipiak also include a range of sweet treats such as petits fours, pop éclairs, and gluten-free macarons.

So simple to serve, they provide a delightful variety of authentic French products which are sure to go down well.

All our frozen pâtisserie for food service contains easy thawing instructions on the box. This helps professional chefs and kitchen staff to plan – making sure they serve products at their very best. As a guide, our savoury canapés, for example, take between two and four hours to defrost in the fridge.

We’ve been helping chefs and kitchen professionals cater for events for many years. Whether it’s a corporate event, a celebration or ceremony, Tipiak has the frozen pâtisserie to help the function go well.

French pâtissier Tipiak has launched its stunning heart-shaped macarons range into the UK food service sector ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Available exclusively via frozen food distributor Central Foods, the heart-shaped macarons selection features ten strawberry and ten chocolate pieces.

And just like Tipiak’s other authentic ‘thaw and serve’ macarons, they are produced in a certified gluten-free area to a traditional French recipe.

Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé, international development project manager at Tipiak, said: “We are delighted to be launching our eye-catching Tipiak heart-shaped macarons for food service customers in the UK.

“Macarons are one of the most treasured French desserts in the world and these heart-shaped versions are especially appealing.

“Made in France, they are unique to the UK frozen food service sector and can be served in a whole host of ways to brighten up and romanticise desserts, cakes, and beverage menus. Simply thaw and serve, et voilà!”

Tipiak’s heart-shaped ‘thaw and serve’ macarons are perfect for Valentine’s Day but are also ideal throughout the year for weddings, afternoon teas, as accompaniments to tea and coffee, and for birthdays. They can also be used to decorate cakes or as toppings for shakes and smoothies – bringing a romantic touch to sweet treats.

Made using natural colours from quality ingredients such as beetroot and dark chocolate, each 15g macaron contains just 67 calories. The heart-shaped macarons take two hours to defrost in the fridge, plus a further 15 minutes at room temperature. Keep chilled and consume within 24 hours.

The new heart-shaped macarons join Tipiak’s classic French macarons and French pop macaron fruits selections which are already available to the UK food service sector via key wholesalers.

Make a macaron tower…with Tipiak

One of the most striking ways to display macarons is to make a macaron tower.

These showstopping arrangements are perfect for weddings, christenings, birthdays, baby showers or any special occasion.

Choose macaron colours to fit the theme of the celebration.

They’re also a great way to catch the eye of customers or potential customers. So consider placing a macaron tower in a prominent position in your restaurant, dining room, café or shop window.

To make a macaron tower as appealing to as many people as possible, opt for gluten-free macarons…just like Tipiak’s.

Simple but stunning

We’re big fans of macaron towers. They’re an eye-catching and stunning way to display macarons, which are the darlings of the pâtisserie world right now.

Best of all, they’re relatively simple to make.

Start with a polystyrene cone and use toothpicks to secure each individual macaron. We’ve taken a series of images to show the best way to make a macaron tower. But you may have other ideas or choose to decorate your tower differently.

The beauty of a macaron tower is that you can create your own designs. Our Tipiak French macarons and pop macaron fruits present perfectly in a macaron tower. These ranges include a wonderful selection of flavours and colours, which give professional caterers so many options when it comes to making a showstopping display.

Red and pink flavours work well for Valentine’s Day, yellows, greens and creams for Easter. And if you’re theming for a wedding, then it’s easy to coordinate with the colours of the flowers!

Tipiak’s authentic macarons are made in France with more ground almonds and less sugar than many macarons, so they are less brittle. This means they are easier to attach when assembling as a tower.

Tipiak’s thaw and serve gluten-free macarons are available to the UK foodservice sector via frozen food distributor Central Foods, who supply to key wholesalers.

Using frozen pre-prepared sweet and savoury pâtisserie helps with long-term planning and frees up staff on the day to prep other parts of the meal.

Shining the spotlight on Tipiak’s gluten-free macarons for Coeliac Awareness Week

It is thought that one in 100 people in the UK has coeliac disease. Only 36% of these people are diagnosed.

Our Tipiak French macarons and pop macarons fruits are gluten free. Accredited by the Association Française Des Intolérants Au Gluten – the French equivalent to Coeliac UK, they are perfect for afternoon tea, as an accompaniment to tea or coffee, or as part of a simple dessert.

“Macarons really are the darlings of pâtisserie currently, with more than 8 million Instagram posts alone. A whole new generation is discovering the delights of macarons with their smooth crisp shells and soft creamy fillings. Offering gluten-free options means that your coeliac customers don’t miss out on these little beauties. Very often it’s the free-from person in a party of guests who chooses where to eat so it’s important to ensure you have free-from options on your menu.”

Natasha’s Law

Available to the UK foodservice sector via frozen food distributor Central Foods, Tipiak’s gluten-free macarons are packed full of flavour. They are made to a traditional recipe, giving your customers an authentic experience. Simply thaw and serve… et voilà!

“Following the introduction of Natasha’s Law, there is much more awareness around the issue of food allergies now,” added Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé. “Our Tipiak gluten-free French macarons and French pop macarons fruits help UK caterers to cater for the growing demand for these delightful desserts.”
