Client Testimonial

  • “It has truly been a pleasure working with Mark on my new coffee shop venture. His vast knowledge and experience in the baking industry have been invaluable to my business. What I appreciate most about Mark is not only his friendly and approachable demeanour but also his willingness to think outside the box and get creative with problem-solving to make our baking dreams fit within the constraints of our space. I highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking expert consulting services to bring their baking to the next level!”

    —Dana (owner of Amble Coffee)

  • Mark’s experience with systems and processes in bakery production/scheduling is allowing us to jump light years ahead of the “figure it out as we go” approach; working with Mark truly accelerates our learning and understanding of where we are headed and what this involves. There’s lots of work ahead to be sure, but we feel we are in good hands in the midst of it all, allowing some peace of mind and a real sense of optimism in our ability to grow and succeed.

    — Steve H. DB Baking Co

  • Mark is a really REALLY talented baker and we feel so lucky to have had him consult on our baking before we opened our cafe. He worked with our team to create and dial in recipes that were core to our menu until they were just right. He’s super easy-going and just a pleasure to be around THX Mark!”
