Turn Lenten Season Into a Bakery Opportunity
The Lenten season can be slow for some businesses — but for bakers, it’s a chance to offer thoughtful, “no meat” options your community needs. Here are tips to help you prepare before Holy Week:
1. Keep Bread Staples Fully Stocked
Pandesal and monay are everyday favorites — perfect for breakfast, merienda, or dessert. Make sure they’re always available, best paired with coffee or hot chocolate and filled with cheese or margarine.
Use Montana Spring and Washington Gold for that signature chewiness and dunk-perfect texture Filipinos love.
2. Offer Boxed Pasalubong Favorites
Many families travel during the long break. Make Ube Cheese Pandesal and Ensaymada available in per-box orders for quick takeout and pasalubong — perfect for long drives and family visits.
3. Highlight No-Meat FillingsBeyond egg sandwiches, offer tuna or sardine fillings, alongside sweet options that can double as desserts. Seafood specialties can easily become Lenten bestsellers.
Plan weeks ahead — secure your ingredients early and prepare for the busy days to come.
