Birthday Cake Design

Sunday, January 18th, 2009


At Patisserie Concerto, we will help you design the birthday cake of your dreams, in any combination of shape, style, flavour, colour and decoration. We believe that your birthday cake design should be unique and match your own personality and style.

All birthday cakes are unique, and can be designed and created to your specifications. On our website, you can see a selection of birthday cake designs. We can also create any birthday cake in your own design.

Let your imagination run wild when designing your birthday cake, because just about anything is possible. Your birthday cake can be filled with any type of filling you choose. Chocolate sponge cakes with fruits are very popular for birthdays; we bake delicious moist chocolate cakes that will leave your guests delighted.

Choose a chocolate birthday cake design, or a fruit birthday cake, or a sponge birthday cake design . . . or any other filling you like. We will help you design your perfect birthday cake in any size you like. You can have a one tier birthday cake in a round, square or any other shape. You can choose a cake in the perfect size to cater for your number of guests. Alternatively, you can have a tiered birthday cake and it is the same story again with the design – you can have anything you desire.

If you have a special birthday cake to discuss, please feel free to phone one of our staff to discuss your birthday cake design requirements. When designing an individual birthday cake, please give us reasonable time to complete your order. A birthday cake design chosen from the website will need a minimum of 24hrs to produce for you. Alternatively, all our UK shops have birthday cakes available to collect on the day, and all of these birthday cakes are made fresh daily.

If you have any questions or queries about a birthday cake design, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Folgers Coffee – the History and Background of the Folgers Coffee Company

Thursday, January 15th, 2009


Part of Proctor and Gamble, Folgers Coffee is one of the biggest brands of coffee in America today. Founded in the 19th century in San Francisco, California by J.A. Folger, it took the United States (the largest coffee market in the world) by storm. In 1963, Proctor and Gamble acquired the company.

There are eight types (called families) of Folgers Coffee in America today: Cafe Coffees, Coffee Pods, Instant Coffees, Folgers Gourmet Selections, Flavored Coffee (Hazelnut, French Vanilla, Chocolate Silk and Cinnamon), Simply Smooth, Coffeehouse Series and Classic Roast. In Canada, Folgers coffee is limited to Classic Roast and Mountain Roast.

Quite possibly the most catchy thing about the Folgers Coffee brand is the commercials it ran. The well known slogan “the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup!” resonated well with audiences and boosted sales.

Other popular television ad campaigns featured people sneaking in to four-star restaurants and replacing the expensive coffee that customers are used to drinking with Folgers Crystals. Not surprisingly, nobody could ever tell that the expensive coffee had been replaced with the cheaper instant version.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Folgers started experimenting with less traditional advertising, sponsoring NASCAR racing. By sponsoring popular drivers, it was almost as though NASCAR itself was endorsing the brand, and the ad campaign was fairly successful.

In 2006, yet another untraditional ad campaign was launched through viral marketing. Created by the ad agency Saatchi and Saatchi, the ads known as ìhappy morningsî were seen all over YouTube and various weblogs. In the ads, cheery and happy singers and dancers show up at sunrise to wake people up to greet the day.

Dateline NBC held a taste test of most popular brands of coffee, and in their experiment Folgers Classic roast scored last place.
