Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"Sweet Dreams Desserts," a popular dessert kiosk in Cardiff, wanted to speed up their decorating process for their best-selling cupcakes and milkshakes without compromising on quality. They switched from generic bulk-bagged sprinkles to the PME resealable pots.
"The PME pots are brilliant. There's zero mess, the sprinkles stay fresh, and the colours are so much more vibrant. Our staff can grab them, decorate, and seal them back up in seconds. It's the small efficiencies that really count during a busy service."
Ben Carter – Owner
The switch streamlined their workflow, reducing decoration time per item by an estimated 20% and completely eliminating product waste from spills.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using Your Sprinkles
- Simply unscrew the lid and sprinkle directly onto your finished product.
- For best results, apply to wet icing, buttercream, or cream to ensure they stick well.
- Can be gently folded into batter for a 'funfetti' effect, but colours may bleed slightly when baked.
- Use a small, dry spoon to dispense for more precise application and to avoid moisture getting into the pot.
Keeping Them Fresh
- Always ensure the screw-lid is tightly sealed after each use.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources like ovens.
- Avoid storing in the refrigerator, as condensation can cause them to clump.
- Check the best-before date on the packaging for optimal quality.
