Hobart mixers help keep world-famous bakery humming

Hobart has been working with The Hummingbird Bakery, one of the UK’s most enduring baking success stories, providing the mixers to help it create the authentic American-style cupcakes, layer cakes, brownies, pies and cheesecakes that have had the whole of London talking.

Hobart’s British made Planetary Mixers are a trusted staple in the commercial kitchens at Hummingbird’s six UK sites (a seventh lands in Guildford this summer), allowing its artisan bakers to combine cupcake batter and frostings, whipping the recipes until light and fluffy. Thanks to their large capacity, the mixers can incorporate large quantities of ingredients quickly and efficiently, helping each site to keep up with demand.

Company founder and MD, Tarek Malouf, commented, “At the Hummingbird Bakery we couldn’t bake the cakes that we do without a sturdy, reliable mixer like the models fitted in our commercial kitchens by Hobart. Requiring absolute minimal maintenance, these mixers never break down and have been a staple in our kitchens across London for many years.”

Hobart’s British made bench and floor mounted mixers set the standard for foodservice. They have an efficient planetary action, operating on single phase, with a three-speed option to deliver unsurpassed quality, efficiency and reliability.

Malouf added, “The three speeds are very easy to master, which makes things simple when it comes to training up our bakers. The safety guard and the attachment to help pour liquid in whilst the paddle is still moving, are both safe and convenient features for a busy working bakery like ours.”
