Central Foods Expands the KaterBake Range with Donuts

Frozen food distributor Central Foods is launching sugared donuts, mini sugared donuts, chocolate iced donuts, mini chocolate iced donuts, and the gluten-free midi sugared donut under the KaterBake range. The ring-shaped, cake-style donuts are suitable for vegetarians and simply need thawing before serving.

Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, said: “Doughnuts and their American-style donut counterparts have been one of the greatest success stories of recent times, with huge innovation in the sector. We’re delighted to be expanding our popular KaterBake bakery range with the addition of these five new ring donuts for our food service customers. The inclusion of a gluten-free ring donut means that coeliac customers don’t miss out on these popular sweet treats.”

The new cake-style donuts have a slightly denser texture, meaning they provide a more filling treat. Caterers can use them to decorate a freak or milkshake, an ice cream sundae, include as a component of afternoon tea or even to ‘sandwich’ savory items, such as chicken burgers.

“Frozen donuts are ideal as operators can defrost them as needed, ensuring there is always a ‘fresh’ supply to hand and reducing wastage,” said Lauder.

The KaterBake range is Central Foods’ own-brand of bakery products for the food service sector and includes specialty bread and morning goods such as flatbreads, crumpets, waffles, bao buns and yum yums.
