Bring your Dessert Dreams to Life

Want to make your customers fall in love at first bite? Let our chefs help re-invent your desserts and add adventure to your bakery items, with enticing new flavor ideas. Together we’ll explore endless possibilities to freshen old-school favorites with the complex  flavors, tempting textures, and appealing colors consumers are ready to embrace now!  With our expertise in culinary, food science and R&D, we can show you how to grow your brand’s reach and likeability. Think of trending and customized pastry fillings, icings, jams, and unique, brand-building brainstorms – like updating a classic dessert with alternating layers of unexpected flavors, or adding a fruit compote spread to jazz up a smooth, creamy cheesecake.

Today’s food landscape is changing fast, yet it’s no secret that for consumers all over the world, flavor always comes first. We can help your business lead the way! Our chefs are continually bringing those global, flavor-first ideas to the table at our Culinary Innovation Center – where you can see, taste, touch, and feel the evolution for yourself.

Indulge your Consumers with Culinary Must-Haves

Today’s foodie consumers get inspired by their excursions online – then they’re ready to advance their flavor journeys in real life. Even when they just want to be taken to a comfortable, happy place, your desserts can get them there. The smell of a freshly baked muffin, the welcoming warmth of a croissant, or the sweet nostalgia in a simple bowl of ice cream can draw anyone in. And here’s where Giraffe Foods really shines – we elevate the experience with custom sweet sauces, drizzles, and glazes that make your snacks and treats even more irresistible.

Just imagine creamy vanilla sauce drizzled on a warm mixed-berry Danish or cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. Or how about custom-made vanilla frosting on a zesty lemon loaf? Beyond ending the meal on a sweet note, adding unexpected delights like these will heighten your customers’ enjoyment, increasing the meal’s memorability and their connection with your brand. See how simple it is to attract consumers with a familiar flavor – say, banana – and then surprise them with extra-exotic possibilities, like banoffee pie with smoky bourbon caramel, banana cake with coffee-chocolate sauce, or a startling twist on traditional sticky toffee pudding: roasted banana ice cream drizzled with a rum-butterscotch sauce.
