1. Whipping Cream Mix Powder

When the temperature soars, there's nothing quite like a dollop of freshly whipped cream to top off your favorite summer desserts. Bakers Whipping Cream Mix Powder is a game-changer for those hot days when you want to avoid the hassle of refrigerating and whipping heavy cream.

This versatile powder can be quickly reconstituted with cold water or milk, then whipped to perfection. Use it to create light and airy toppings for fresh fruit salads, as a filling for cream puffs, or to add a luxurious touch to iced coffees and frappés. The beauty of this mix is its stability in warm weather, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings and picnics.

Pro tip: For an extra indulgent treat, fold some crushed fresh berries into your whipped cream for a fruity twist on a classic.

2. Ice Cream Mix Powder

Nothing says summer quite like homemade ice cream, and Bakers Ice Cream Mix Powder makes it easier than ever to churn out delectable frozen treats. This mix takes the guesswork out of ice cream making, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture every time.

Simply combine the powder with milk and cream and boil then churn in an ice cream maker or freeze and stir periodically for a no-churn version. The possibilities for flavors are endless here because bakers give you so many options of Ice Creams– add fresh fruit purees, chocolate chips, or crushed cookies to create your signature summer scoop.

3. Falooda Mix Powder

Falooda, a popular Indian dessert drink, is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. Bakers Falooda Mix Powder makes it easy to recreate this exotic treat at home. The mix typically includes flavors like rose, which gives the drink its signature taste and aroma. To prepare, simply mix the powder with cold milk and boil, then layer it in a tall glass with cooked vermicelli noodles, basil seeds, and a scoop of ice cream. Top with chopped nuts for added crunch. This visually striking and refreshing dessert is sure to impress your guests and transport them to far-off lands.

Experiment with different flavors by adding fruit syrups or purees to create your own falooda variations.

4. Veg Jelly Mix Powder

Jelly desserts are a summer staple, and Bakers Veg Jelly Mix Powder offers a plant-based alternative that's perfect for vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions. This mix sets quickly and firmly, making it ideal for molded desserts and layered treats. Create a stunning trifle by layering cubes of colorful jelly with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Or, for a more sophisticated approach, try making a wine-infused jelly terrine for your next dinner party. Kids will love jelly popsicles – simply pour the prepared mix into molds and freeze for a fun, cooling treat.

Pro tip: For an adults-only version, substitute part of the water with champagne or prosecco for a celebratory summer jelly.

5. Frappe Mix Powder

When the heat is on, a tall, frosty frappe can be the perfect pick-me-up. Bakers Frappe Mix Powder allows you to create coffee shop-quality frozen drinks at home with minimal effort. This versatile mix can be used to make classic coffee frappes, as well as fruit-flavored versions. Blend the powder with ice, milk, and your choice of flavoring for a quick and easy summer refresher. For a decadent treat, top your frappe with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. You can also use this mix as a base for frozen cocktails – just add your favorite spirits for an adults-only indulgence.

6. Glucon-D Mix Powder

While not strictly a baking product, Bakers Glucon-D Mix Powder is an essential addition to your summer pantry. This glucose powder is perfect for creating quick energy drinks to combat the draining effects of summer heat. Mix it with cold water for a refreshing and revitalizing beverage, or use it in your baking to add a touch of sweetness and provide an energy boost. Try incorporating it into homemade energy bars or balls for a healthy summer snack. You can also use Glucon-D to balance the tartness in fruit-based desserts or add it to smoothies for an extra energy kick.

Summer Baking Tips:

1. Beat the heat: Try to do your baking early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler.

2. Chill your tools: Place mixing bowls and beaters in the freezer for a few minutes before whipping cream or making frosting.

3. Mind your ingredients: Butter softens quickly in summer, so keep it cool until you're ready to use it. Consider chilling your flour for more consistent results.

4. Embrace no-bake desserts: Utilize Bakers' mixes to create delicious treats without turning on the oven.

5. Store smartly: Keep your summer desserts fresh by storing them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
