Bake It Easy: Miguel & Maria on a Roadshow to Introduce Bakery Products

Discounted prices can reach as high as ₱23 per piece’s SRP depending on the minimum order quantity, which ranges from 50 to 1000 pieces. Their mini ham egg drop, for example, retails for ₱90.67 per piece, but you can get it for ₱66.77 per minimum order quantity of 1000.

For business owners who barely have the time to bake their own pastries and would rather get supplies from reputable bakeries, this is heaven-sent!

The benefit does not end with the crazy discounts. MMFSSI’s pastries have a frozen shelf life of 5 months, as compared to the common standard of 2-3 months. This is good news for startup business owners who do not yet have a high volume of customers, as this means they can avail lower prices and stock up on the goodies without worrying about quick spoilage, food waste, and splurging money that only goes straight to the bin.

Rising with only two restaurant branches, you may not hear about Miguel & Maria very often, but they are quite an active and well-loved business behind the curtains. You most probably have tried some of their creations on your casual errand day, as some of their clients include The Marketplace, Shopwise, Robinsons, S&R, Constancia’s Bakeshop, Comedor, Tomoro Coffee, and of course, the Miguel & Maria restaurant.

Unox SPEED.Compact for Pastry Businesses

Best used for preparing these pastries as demonstrated during the event by MMFSSI Research & Development Manager Chef Marjorie Talusig, is the Unox SPEED Compact oven. With high technology and innovative features, your pastry is done in a few seconds! No exaggeration — most of the pastries demoed by Chef Marj were all done in under a minute, the longest one, which was a beef burrito wrap, took about a minute and 20 seconds. Imagine having a whole burrito ready in a little over a minute; it’s a reality with Unox.

Like most Unox ovens, the SPEED.Compact has insane usability features and smart technologies that allow you to develop ready-to-go cooking programs that can be controlled with easy-to-use panels. Moreover, it comes with a washing kit with no need for water connections; staff can now clean the oven in a flash with no hassle.

How about crumbs? We don’t know them. The SPEED.Compact oven comes with a drawer that collects food crumbs and washing liquids for you; pop ‘em out and throw — clean without a sweat.

But more than these, what the oven boasts about most is its full-speed performance. Got a group order for a business meeting? Your bacon and egg roll is ready in 45 seconds. It’ll take longer to eat. Convenient, time-efficient, and energy-saving, just what we need for a fast-paced business where you never know how many orders you’ll get next.

Guests, who were potential clients, had the opportunity to try samples themselves to properly judge and decide whether they were a good fit for their business. Surely, with the premium-made pastries and high-grade equipment, they came out filling the room with the comforting aroma of bakery, breads piping hot and fresh as if they had never been stored.

Kitchen Studio for Your Demos and Other Projects

This visit in Makati City is the first of MMFSSI’s roadshow across the country in partnership with Unox Philippines and All About Baking, with the goal of providing solutions to food businesses through their offers. Conducting the very first demo in their roadshow in the newly renovated kitchen studio of DTC Promos Inc. was a brave choice anchored by trust in the partnership.

Chef Marj mentioned how simple it was to move around the kitchen as most frequently used areas or equipment are easily reached. She especially loved the perfect distance of the sink to the cooking area as someone who washes her hands very often while cooking. Not to mention that the place is conveniently near quite a big grocery where you can run back and forth in case of emergencies like missing ingredients or sudden replacements. This kind of professional kitchen is most important when conducting demos; you would want to avoid encountering any kind of disaster that may arise.

Moving on from the cooking area, the kitchen is quite well-equipped in terms of learning space. It has decent chairs where the audience can sit comfortably, and easily movable tables with built in shelves and cabinets for when you want to store items that may either be personal or required for the session. The venue is also close and private with little to no disturbance from outside factors and is equipped with a TV.

These features make the studio a flexible space for many types of intimate events, such as learning workshops, cooking classes, business meetings, live streaming, and even production shoots.
