YIKES! What a year! There’s no denying that 2020 will go down in the history books as one of the wildest rides in baking history. So, here’s a brief recap at the mid-point (can you believe it?) of the year:
BAKERS TO THE RESCUE
Early this year, our entire baking industry was thrust onto the front line of the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. The industry was and still is perfectly positioned to help Americans cope with our nation’s crisis. Therefore, through it all, we’ve continued to bake the affordable, delicious, “feel good” products that help people enjoy life, if even for the time it takes to savor a snack or dessert. Well done, store managers, bakers and salesclerks! Let’s keep it up as long as necessary and hope that an end to the crisis is near!
TODAY’S OPPORTUNITIES
Life goes on in spite of the pandemic. There are tremendous opportunities to create, expand, and polish our profession. For example, the recent product rollout of the Mauisada Mix provides a wonderful opportunity to upgrade your product offering. Embracing this sweet and/or savory product and the romance of the Hawaiian Islands can bring a brief respite from the worries of the day is welcomed.
