Sustainable cake design | Dorset
Finding new ways to make my business sustainable and work in an eco conscious way has been a goal of mine now since 2021.
The cake world can be a very throw away industry and I love I am trying to make small changes to lower my environmental impact. Its something I have adopted in my every day so feel its only right it should be mirrored in my business.
To have a read about why I chose to head down the sustainability route, have a little peep at my about me page.
What am I doing to be more sustainable?
Do you know what, I love learning new ways to up my sustainability goals.
Here are some of the switches I have already put in place!
-
We use Ovo as our energy suppliers
-
I have significantly cut down on my plastic use and no longer buy single use plastic for the kitchen.
-
Buying local seasonal fruit and freezing/ preserving
-
I use delicious organic white chocolate in my cakes! All cakes have a yummy white chocolate ganache coating for added stability and to make it extra tasty. Both the chocolate and the cocoa I use are Fairtrade.
-
I use local free range eggs and when possible Southwest dairy
-
No more cling film, I use a great silicone alternative.
-
Reusable plastic travel boxes for cake deliveries.
-
I scrapped using plastic dowels. I now use food grade wooden dowels.
-
I also buy as many of my ingredients in bulk to minimise plastic and recycle any plastic which is able to be.The ingredients that go into my cakes.
