INTRODUCTORY LETTER Holiday Spirit English version starts on page 32 With the holidays upon us, now is the time to turn your attention to producing and promoting festive cakes and decorative breads and pastries that look as amazing as they taste. There's no better time of year to take full advantage of wonderful opportunities to lift your efforts and bring joy to your loyal customers. After all, "we're in a happy business," points out Greg Napolitano of Campbell's Bakery, one of those featured in this issue of BakeMark's Panadería. The cake business is enjoying an upswing, thanks to new tools and techniques included in this issue. And as Día de los Reyes nears, make sure to stock up on plenty of supplies to make beautiful rosca de reyes that your customers will be sure to love. The holidays are a time to reinforce the message that you are an important part of their community, and they can count on you for the very best products. BakeMark is committed to innovation and your continued success.
