Mexico’s Ma Baker and Chef Products Now in Belize   

There’s a new player in town that’s set to make life a whole lot easier for bakers and chefs, all without costing a fortune. Say hello to Ma Baker and Chef, a Mexico-based brand that’s just launched its exciting range of bakery and confectionery products right here in Belize. These goodies are being brought in by Mayito Cal Limited, and today, they teamed up with the manufacturers to host a hands-on training session in Belize City. This event wasn’t just about learning the ropes; it was also a golden opportunity for the importers to showcase their products to major supermarkets and hoteliers from all over the country. News Five’s Paul Lopez was on the scene and gave us the scoop on how this brand aims to elevate Belize’s culinary scene. Here’s his report.

Ma Baker and Chef is the latest bakery and confectionery brand to make a splash in Belize. And guess what? Bakers and chefs are already singing its praises!

 

Neri Castilla, Culinary Instructor

“They have a wide variety of products. It is a lot cheaper than other brands here in Belize and it is accessible to us to get in any store. It is not like we have to order or wait for an order to come in.”

 

Ma Bakers and Chef Products are manufactured in Mexico and imported by Mayito Cal Limited, a company led by Miriam Cal.

“Ma Baker in collaboration with us brought in two renowned chef to come and introduce the usage of their products and the many products they have in their catalogs. To answers question for the home bakers that might have doubts about the product or want to know more about the products, because some are already on the market. In this way we are introducing new products, I will be bringing them back into the country.”

 

Home bakers, supermarket reps, and hotel and resort representatives all gathered in one room to get the inside scoop on how Ma Baker and Chef products can boost their businesses and delight their customers.

“Guys Ma Bakers and Chef is one of the best brands in the baking industry. They bring in a long selection of products for pastries as a whole. This one is edible markers. It is not markers you can use to give your kids. It is edible markers. So, you can use it to write happy birthday in the fondant or maybe to decorate your cookies. You can be creative with this. We also bring in luster dust, edible paint in a dust form. Most bakers would mix it with vodka, a little bit, not much and they would paint away their flowers, cookies, cake, our pastries and that gives it a different color. If you are making flowers, you get these to color your flowers. Your flower would usually be white because of the material you are using, this is what you need to get and your dust it off and it becomes amazingly beautiful like the flower we show earlier that is edible. That is dust with this one.”

 

And those are just two of the many fantastic products Ma Baker and Chef has in their lineup. The two bakers who flew in to showcase these goodies spent the morning crafting and decorating a stunning Christmas-themed cake. The end result? A vibrant, eye-catching cake display with sharp contrasts, perfect for the festive season!

“As the chef just said, every product has a code at the back that can be scanned, and it will show them how to use it. And each one is made to make the baker’s life easier and to save time. Like I am just saying, time is the most limited resource we have. For example she used the royal icing to create three different things, she used it as an adhesive for her figurine. She used it to make the snow effect and she added more water to show snow on the figurine of the trees. So the same product can be used different ways. Its not only about introducing the product but how it can be applied throughout.”

 

Before today, these products were not available at supermarkets in Belize City. But, during the demonstration, Publics Supermarket committed to carrying all Ma Baker and Chef products in its grocery stores. The news came with applause from the audience.

“We have three sizes of fondants, the large, the medium and the smaller ones. The smaller one is good. People say it is small and they need the whole pack. Not every time a baker needs to buy the whole two pound if it only a piece they need. You don’t need to buy the two pounds. You can buy the small one and just use it for what you need.”
