Hot Chocolate Summer

World Chocolate Day might conjure cosy thoughts of winter bakes, but we’re flipping the script. This year, it’s all about chilled indulgence and summer-ready twists that prove chocolate isn’t just a cold-weather classic, it’s a year-round essential for your bakery!

Today’s customers want more than just flavour, they want chocolate with flair. Whether it’s a glossy glaze on an iced traybake, a rich swirl through a soft-serve sundae, or a drizzle over a whipped mousse pot, chocolate is still one of the most craved ingredients, and it’s time we gave it a seasonal glow-up…

Cool, not complicated

You don’t need to reinvent your menu, just rethink the way chocolate shows up. Think frozen desserts, mini portions, and counter bakes with big flavour but light texture. Try topping a blondie base with whipped chocolate ganache and freeze-dried berries, or offer a chilled triple chocolate cheesecake slice as a take-home treat.

Products that work harder

With BAKO Select mixes and our real chocolate chips and chunks, you can create more for less!

Chocolate’s not just for comfort - It’s for creativity

Summer is a great time to play with flavour pairings too! Think citrus, coconut, passionfruit or raspberry against the richness of dark chocolate or the creaminess of milk chocolate. These lighter combinations keep things fresh, exciting, and perfect for warm-weather indulgence.
