The Gobel croissant roller cutter is a straightforward, purpose-built tool for portioning laminated dough into consistent triangles ready for rolling. The stainless steel cutting wheel runs along a wooden handle, giving the baker clean, repeatable cuts across a sheet of dough with a single pass. It is the kind of tool that earns its place on a pastry bench through reliability rather than complexity.
In a production bakery or busy pastry kitchen, consistency matters. Uneven portions lead to uneven baking times and inconsistent finished croissants, which creates waste and slows service. This cutter removes the guesswork from the portioning stage, helping bakers work at pace without compromising uniformity. The wooden handle keeps hands clear of the blade and provides a comfortable, secure grip even when working through larger batches.
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands repeated cleaning cycles
- Wooden handle provides grip and keeps hands safely away from the cutting edge
- Produces consistent triangular portions for uniform finished croissants
- Lightweight at 470g — easy to handle across extended pastry sessions
- Suits both fresh and chilled laminated dough
At 510mm in length, the cutter is sized for standard pastry work on a conventional bench. It is worth noting that this is a manual portioning tool — output is determined by operator pace rather than mechanised throughput, so for very high-volume croissant production, a mechanical dough divider or sheeter attachment may be a more practical investment.
This cutter is well suited to artisan bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, and any operation producing croissants or similar viennoiserie as a regular part of the menu. It is a practical entry point for kitchens standardising their pastry prep without committing to larger portioning equipment.
If you are unsure whether this tool fits your current production setup or want to discuss the broader range of pastry preparation equipment, our team is happy to help you work it through.
£4.78(£5.74 inc VAT)
This is a 13mm stainless steel star piping tube from Schneider, used for piping rosettes, shells, borders, and other star-profile decorations onto cakes, pastries, and desserts. The star opening produces clean, defined ridges in buttercream, cream, ganache, and similar piping mediums.
In a busy pastry section or bakery environment, consistent results depend on the tube holding its shape under repeated pressure. Stainless steel construction means the tube resists deformation over sustained use and withstands the rigours of a commercial dishwasher without the deterioration that affects plastic alternatives. The compact dimensions make it straightforward to seat securely in a piping bag coupler or push directly into a disposable bag.
- Produces clean, defined star profiles in a range of piping mediums
- Stainless steel construction resists deformation under repeated use
- Dishwasher safe and straightforward to clean by hand between tasks
- Compatible with standard piping bag couplers and disposable bags
- Lightweight and easy to handle during extended decorating work
At 13mm, this tube sits in the mid-range of star tip sizes — suited to decorating individual portions, piping borders, and finishing plated desserts. Kitchens requiring finer detail work or larger statement piping will find smaller and larger star tubes more appropriate for those specific applications.
If you are building out a pastry section or standardising your piping kit across a team, it is worth having a conversation about which tip sizes and styles best match your menu. The team is happy to help.
£4.78(£5.74 inc VAT)
This is a single stainless steel star piping tube from Schneider, sized at 9mm. It is used to pipe star-shaped decorations onto cakes, pastries, choux, and similar confectionery work. The star profile produces a clean, defined shape and is one of the most commonly used nozzle formats in professional patisserie and bakery environments.
In a busy pastry section, consistency matters. A well-made piping tube holds its shape under repeated use and doesn't distort with pressure from thicker mixtures. The stainless steel construction on this tube makes it robust enough for daily production work and straightforward to clean by hand or through a commercial dishwasher without risk of corrosion or deformation.
Practical benefits for kitchen use include:
- Consistent star profile for uniform decoration across large batch runs
- Stainless steel resists staining and holds up to commercial cleaning routines
- Compatible with standard disposable and reusable piping bags
- Compact and lightweight, easy to store alongside other nozzles
- Smooth interior finish supports even flow of cream, buttercream, and choux paste
There are no installation requirements for a piping tube, but it is worth considering the 9mm aperture in the context of your typical output. This size is well suited to medium-scale decorative work — it produces a noticeable, well-defined star without being oversized. For finer detail work a smaller aperture would be more appropriate; for bold, generous piping on larger gateaux or display pastries, a wider tube may give a better result.
This tube is a practical choice for patisserie chefs, bakery teams, and catering operations that include decorated desserts or pastry work in their output. If you are building out a set of piping tubes or are unsure which sizes best suit your menu, the team is happy to help you select appropriately.
£10.81(£12.97 inc VAT)
The Schneider 270mm stainless steel spatula is a straightforward, well-made lifting tool designed for daily use in bakeries and commercial kitchen environments. The wide blade is proportioned to slide cleanly beneath bread loaves, rolls, biscuits, pastries, and similar baked goods, allowing staff to lift and transfer items from trays and sheets without dislodging or damaging them. The polypropylene handle provides a firm, comfortable grip during repetitive tasks.
In busy bakery or pastry sections, where large volumes of product move through the oven in quick succession, a reliable spatula with a blade this width earns its place. The stainless steel blade holds its shape under regular use and resists the warping that can affect lesser tools over time. At 190g it is light enough for extended use without fatigue, yet substantial enough to handle heavier items confidently.
- Wide blade reduces the risk of tearing or breaking delicate baked goods during transfer
- Stainless steel construction cleans easily and tolerates commercial dishwasher use
- Comfortable handle supports repetitive lifting through a full service
- Suitable for use across bread, pastry, biscuit, and tray-bake production
This is a hand tool rather than a piece of equipment, so there are no installation requirements to consider. It is worth pairing with appropriately sized baking trays and sheets to make the most of the blade width. For operations handling very large or heavy items, a longer or broader blade may be more practical.
Well suited to bakeries, patisseries, hotel kitchens, and any catering operation with regular baked goods production. If you are equipping a new bakery section and want guidance on building out a practical toolkit, the team is happy to help.
£4.04(£4.85 inc VAT)
These are standard white paper cupcake cases from PME, a well-regarded supplier of baking consumables used widely in professional patisserie, bakery, and catering environments. Each case is made from paper and sized to fit a standard cupcake or muffin tin, making them straightforward to work with across most commercial baking setups.
For operations that bake in volume — whether that's a hotel kitchen producing afternoon tea covers, a café with a daily bake-off, or a bakery fulfilling wholesale orders — having a reliable, consistent case matters more than it might seem. PME cases are known for holding their shape during baking and releasing cleanly, which reduces waste and keeps presentation consistent across a batch.
- White finish suits a wide range of decorating and presentation styles
- Paper construction handles standard oven temperatures without greasing through
- Consistent sizing helps with even filling and uniform bake results
- Pack of 300 suits regular production without frequent reordering
- Compatible with standard cupcake and muffin tins used in most commercial kitchens
There's little in the way of installation to consider here — these are a consumable that slots into any existing baking workflow. The main practical question is volume: 300 cases will suit a site that bakes regularly but not necessarily at industrial scale. Higher-output operations may want to consider larger pack quantities to reduce handling frequency and unit cost.
These cases are well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, patisseries, and contract caterers who bake cupcakes or muffins as part of a regular menu. They're a practical choice where consistent presentation and reliable performance are more important than premium pricing.
If you're unsure about quantities or want to discuss consumable stocking levels for your operation, our team is happy to help you work that out.
£7.61(£9.13 inc VAT)
The Schneider doughnut cutter is a straightforward stainless steel hand tool designed to stamp out consistent doughnut shapes from fresh dough. The inner cutting ring produces a uniform centre hole, while the outer ring defines the overall doughnut diameter — giving you repeatable results across a full batch without relying on guesswork or freehand cutting.
In a busy bakery or pastry section, consistency matters. Using a dedicated cutter rather than improvised tools means each piece comes out to the same size, which helps with even frying times and a uniform finished product. The rounded top edge makes it comfortable to press firmly through chilled dough without the tool becoming awkward to handle during a long production run.
Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Consistent centre hole and outer diameter across every cut
- Stainless steel construction holds up to repeated daily use
- Dishwasher-safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight enough to use comfortably during batch production
- Compact to store alongside other pastry cutters and bakeware
This cutter is well suited to smaller bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations that produce doughnuts in-house as part of a regular menu. It is a hand-tool rather than a production-line cutter, so it is best matched to moderate batch sizes where manual cutting is practical. Operations producing very high volumes may find a multi-cutter or press-style tool more efficient.
If you are setting up a pastry section or reviewing your bakeware kit and want to talk through what tools suit your production volumes, we are happy to help.
£4.78(£5.74 inc VAT)
This is a plain stainless steel piping tube from Schneider, designed to produce a smooth, undecorated cylinder of piped product. With a 16mm opening, it is commonly used for piping choux pastry, éclairs, cream fillings, and similar applications where a clean, round profile is needed without any star or petal effect.
In a professional pastry kitchen or bakery, consistency matters. A well-made stainless steel tube holds its shape under repeated pressure and does not distort over time the way cheaper alternatives can. It fits standard piping bags and couplers, sits securely during use, and is straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher.
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands daily use
- Plain 16mm opening produces a smooth, uniform piped profile
- Compatible with standard piping bags for straightforward fitting
- Easy to clean and suitable for commercial dishwasher use
- Compact and lightweight, simple to store with other piping kit
There are no installation requirements here — this is a hand tool. It is worth noting that the 16mm size suits medium-volume piping work; for finer detail work or larger-format output, Schneider offers tubes in a range of other diameters. If you are building out a piping tube kit for a busy production kitchen and are unsure which sizes to stock, we are happy to help you work through that.
£1.73(£2.08 inc VAT)
The Scaritech half round soft scraper is a straightforward baking and pastry tool made from food-safe polypropylene. The curved edge is designed to follow the contour of mixing bowls, allowing operators to clear dough and batter cleanly without leaving residue behind. It also serves well for portioning and shaping softer doughs on bench surfaces, and for sweeping work areas clear between tasks.
In a busy bakery or pastry section, small tools like this earn their place through reliability and consistent performance rather than complexity. The polypropylene construction is durable enough for repeated daily use, resists staining, and cleans quickly — either by hand or through a commercial dishwasher cycle. The profile and weight of the scraper are well suited to extended use without causing unnecessary strain during repetitive prep work.
- Rounded edge conforms to mixing bowls for thorough bowl-clearing
- Food-safe polypropylene — durable and easy to clean
- Comfortable to hold during repetitive dough work
- Useful for shaping, portioning, and bench clearing
- Lightweight enough for continuous use across a long service
This scraper is best suited to bakeries, patisseries, and kitchen sections with regular bread or pastry production. It is a general-purpose tool rather than a precision instrument, so operations requiring very firm scraping of stiff doughs may find a more rigid steel scraper the better choice alongside it.
If you have questions about which scrapers or prep tools are the right fit for your kitchen's workflow, our team is happy to help you think it through.
£2.50(£3.00 inc VAT)
The Scaritech Trapeze Scraper is a polypropylene bench tool designed for use in professional bakery and pastry production. Its trapezoidal profile provides several distinct edges and angles in a single piece, allowing bakers to switch between cutting, portioning, and transferring dough without reaching for multiple tools.
In day-to-day production it performs well across a range of dough types, from firm enriched doughs to softer pastry work. The angled edges make it straightforward to work cleanly along a bench surface, and the rigid polypropylene construction holds its shape under consistent use without flexing or distorting. It is also commonly used for scraping down work surfaces and gathering loose flour between batches, which helps keep a production bench organised during a busy service or bake run.
Practical advantages for bakery and pastry teams include:
- Multiple working edges reduce tool-switching during dough preparation
- Rigid construction gives controlled, consistent cuts when portioning
- Smooth polypropylene surface is straightforward to wipe clean between uses
- Lightweight enough for extended handling without fatigue
- Suited to both dough work and general bench scraping tasks
At 43g and with no electrical or mechanical components, there are no installation requirements. It is a hand-held tool that needs no specific storage arrangement beyond normal smallwares organisation. The polypropylene material is food-safe and robust under normal kitchen conditions, though like all plastic tools it should be kept away from direct heat sources.
This scraper suits professional bakers, pastry chefs, and kitchen teams who need a reliable, multi-purpose bench tool for regular dough production. If your operation requires scrapers in larger formats or different rigidity profiles, it is worth discussing your specific production needs with us before ordering.
£8.99(£10.79 inc VAT)
The Schneider Premium Reusable Pastry Bag is a 500mm piping bag made from a coated synthetic fabric, designed for repeated use in professional pastry, bakery, and confectionery kitchens. It replaces disposable bags with a more durable option that holds up across a busy day's service.
In practice, the coated fabric construction gives the bag enough rigidity to maintain control under pressure while remaining sufficiently flexible to handle detailed piping work — whether that's rosettes, borders, or filling choux. A full bag doesn't compromise grip or manoeuvreability, which matters when output consistency is important during a busy service period. The synthetic coating also helps prevent fat and moisture from permeating the material, which is a common issue with uncoated fabric bags.
From an operational standpoint, switching to a reusable bag at this size offers a few practical advantages:
- Reduces ongoing spend on disposable piping bags over time
- Coated interior is easier to clean and resists grease absorption
- Integrated hanger loop allows the bag to be hung during filling, freeing both hands
- 500mm length is well suited to larger batches and bigger nozzles
- Flexible enough for intricate work despite the durable construction
There are no installation requirements for a product like this, but it's worth noting that proper cleaning between uses is essential. Like all reusable piping bags, these need to be washed thoroughly — ideally in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent — and inspected regularly for wear to the coating. Any degradation to the inner surface should be a signal to replace the bag. The 500mm size is on the larger end of standard pastry bags and may not suit finer decorative work where a shorter bag offers more control.
This bag is most commonly used in bakeries, patisseries, hotel kitchens, and any operation producing cakes, pastries, or desserts in volume. If your team is working at a very high output or requires multiple sizes in rotation, it's worth thinking through your full bag setup rather than selecting a single size in isolation. If you'd like guidance on what works well for your particular operation, we're happy to help.
£8.31(£9.97 inc VAT)
The Schneider 30mm doughnut cutter is a straightforward, single-piece stainless steel tool designed for hand-cutting raw dough into consistent doughnut shapes. The inner ring punches the centre hole whilst the outer ring defines the overall doughnut diameter, producing uniform pieces that will prove and fry evenly — which matters when you are running a batch production line and consistency affects both presentation and cook time.
In a bakery or patisserie environment, where doughnut production may run to dozens or hundreds of pieces per session, a well-made cutter like this earns its place through reliability rather than novelty. The stainless steel construction handles repeated use without distortion, and the rounded top edge makes sustained hand pressure comfortable during longer runs. At 46g it is light enough not to cause fatigue but solid enough to cut cleanly through properly rested dough.
- Consistent cut shape reduces variation in prove time and frying results
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and stands up to regular use
- Dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning
- Rounded top edge allows comfortable hand pressure during batch production
This cutter is sized for standard ring doughnuts. It is worth confirming the finished doughnut size you need before ordering — the 30mm inner diameter is a fairly compact centre hole, which suits a traditional ring doughnut profile. If your menu calls for a different size or style, other cutters in the Schneider range offer alternative dimensions.
If you are setting up a doughnut production line and want to discuss cutter sizing, batch volumes, or how this fits alongside other bakeware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£6.66(£7.99 inc VAT)
The Schneider 80mm stainless steel spatula is a straightforward baking tool designed for lifting, turning, and transferring baked goods from trays and sheets without damaging them. The wide, flat blade slides cleanly beneath bread rolls, biscuits, pastries, and similar products, making it a reliable everyday utensil in bakery and pastry environments.
In a busy production kitchen or bakery, this kind of tool earns its keep through consistent, dependable performance across long service periods. The stainless steel blade holds its shape under repeated use and resists the warping that can affect lower-quality alternatives over time. The polypropylene handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended tasks — something that matters when the same action is repeated dozens of times through a shift.
- Stainless steel blade resists corrosion and holds its edge over time
- Wide 80mm blade lifts baked goods cleanly without tearing or crushing
- Lightweight at 100g, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks
- Polypropylene handle offers a comfortable, secure grip
- Simple construction makes cleaning quick and straightforward
Being a single-piece stainless steel blade with a fixed handle, there are no moving parts or joints to harbour food residue, which supports good hygiene practice. It is hand-wash recommended to preserve the handle over time — worth noting in kitchens that run everything through a commercial dishwasher on heavy cycles.
This spatula is well suited to bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where baked goods are produced in volume. For operations handling larger items or working with heavier products, a wider or more heavy-duty blade may be worth considering. If you are equipping a new bakery section or want to discuss the right utensil mix for your setup, the team is happy to help.
£9.25(£11.10 inc VAT)
This MasterClass folding rack serves a dual purpose — functioning as both a roasting rack and a cooling tray. Constructed from carbon steel with a scratch-resistant ceramic non-stick coating, it is a straightforward, practical addition to a bakery or pastry section's smallwares kit.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the non-stick ceramic surface helps prevent baked goods from sticking during cooling and makes the rack reasonably quick to clean between uses. The folding design means it can be stored flat when not in use, which is a genuine practical advantage in kitchens where storage space is tight. At 430g, it is light enough to handle easily and move around the bench without difficulty.
- Non-stick ceramic coating reduces sticking and speeds up cleaning
- Folds flat for compact storage in limited bench or cupboard space
- Carbon steel construction provides a stable, durable baking surface
- Suitable for use as both a roasting rack and a cooling tray
- Lightweight build makes it easy to handle during busy service
There are no gas, water, or electrical requirements. This is a purely manual piece of kit. It is worth noting that, as a domestic-leaning smallware, it is better suited to lower-volume pastry or bakery work, prep kitchens, or as a supplementary rack in a larger baking operation. Operations running high volumes of baked goods daily would likely benefit from heavier-gauge professional baking equipment alongside this.
This rack is well suited to small cafés, hotel breakfast operations, or bakery prep areas where a compact, easy-to-store cooling rack is needed for light to moderate daily use. It is part of the MasterClass Smart Ceramic range, which means it is designed to work alongside compatible bakeware in that collection.
If you are building out a pastry or baking section and are unsure whether this fits your volume requirements, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.
£6.65(£7.98 inc VAT)
The Schneider Premium reusable pastry bag is a 400mm piping bag made from a coated synthetic fabric designed to hold up to repeated use in a professional kitchen environment. The special coating makes the bag impermeable, so fillings, creams, and batters don't soak through the material, and it resists the kind of wear that quickly degrades cheaper alternatives.
In a busy pastry section or bakery kitchen, disposable bags create ongoing cost and waste, particularly during high-output shifts where a pastry chef may get through a significant number of bags in a single service. A well-made reusable bag changes that dynamic, provided it can maintain consistent flexibility and grip when full. The Schneider bag holds its workability even under load, which matters when you're piping precise detail work or working quickly through a run of identical portions.
- Impermeable coated fabric keeps fillings contained and bag exterior clean
- Retains flexibility when full, supporting controlled and detailed piping
- Integrated hanger for practical filling — frees up both hands during loading
- Food-safe materials throughout, suitable for direct contact with cream, batter, and similar fillings
- Designed for repeated use, reducing reliance on disposable bags over time
At 400mm, this bag suits a wide range of piping tasks from filling choux to decorating gateaux. Kitchens with higher throughput requirements, or those piping particularly stiff mixtures regularly, may find it worth considering a heavier-duty option. Cleaning between uses is straightforward, though it's worth establishing a clear washing and drying routine to maintain hygiene standards and extend bag life.
If you're equipping a new pastry section or reviewing your consumables setup, the team is happy to help you work out the right bag sizes and quantities for your operation.
£10.36(£12.43 inc VAT)
The Schneider 170mm stainless steel spatula is a straightforward baking utensil designed for lifting, turning, and transferring baked goods from trays and sheets. The wide, flat blade is shaped to slide cleanly underneath bread, pastries, biscuits, and similar products without catching edges or distorting the base of the item.
In a working bakery or pastry section, this kind of tool earns its place through reliability and consistency. The blade sits low enough to get under fragile items without tearing, and the stainless steel construction means it holds its shape under repeated use without warping or corroding. It handles the repetitive demands of a busy service environment without deteriorating in the way cheaper alternatives often do.
- Wide blade reduces the risk of damage when lifting delicate baked goods
- Stainless steel blade resists corrosion and holds its form with regular use
- Comfortable polypropylene handle reduces hand fatigue during prolonged tasks
- Suitable for use on standard baking trays and non-stick sheets
- Easy to clean and compatible with commercial dishwasher environments
At 170mm wide, this spatula suits most standard bakery and pastry applications. It is worth noting that this size is well matched to smaller loaves, individual pastries, and biscuits rather than large flat breads or full-tray products, where a wider blade would be more practical. If your operation handles high-volume sheet work or larger format items, a broader spatula may be worth considering alongside this one.
If you are equipping a new pastry section or want to make sure you are picking the right size for your specific product range, the team is happy to talk it through.
£8.68(£10.42 inc VAT)
The De Buyer silicone brush is a straightforward, well-made pastry and basting brush intended for everyday professional use. At 250mm in length, it gives cooks a comfortable reach when working with hot trays, pans, or baked goods, and the soft silicone bristles apply glazes, butter, egg washes, and sauces evenly without tearing delicate surfaces.
In a working kitchen, the main practical advantage of silicone over natural or nylon bristles is consistency. The bristles do not shed, do not absorb fats or flavourings between uses, and do not deteriorate with repeated washing. The brush handles hot applications without the bristles softening or splaying, which is a common failure point with cheaper alternatives.
- Soft silicone bristles apply glazes and washes without marking or tearing
- Heat-resistant material suitable for use on hot food straight from the oven
- Non-absorbent bristles do not retain flavours or fats between tasks
- Fully dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean at the end of service
- Lightweight at 40g — comfortable for extended use during busy baking runs
Silicone brushes of this type are most commonly used in pastry sections, bakery operations, and prep kitchens where glazing or finishing work is a regular part of service. This brush is well suited to smaller independent operations, hotel kitchen pastry teams, and catering businesses that bake in-house. For very high-volume production environments handling continuous runs of pastry or bread, a brush with a wider head may prove more efficient.
If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your workflow, or want to discuss brush options for a specific application, the team is happy to help.
£15.91(£19.09 inc VAT)
A pan gripper is a simple but genuinely useful piece of kitchen smallware — a spring-loaded clip designed to give a secure hold on the rim of pans, trays, and similar cookware when lifting or manoeuvring them during service. This universal gripper is intended to work across a range of standard pan sizes rather than being fixed to a single diameter.
In a busy kitchen environment, the practical value of a reliable pan gripper is straightforward: it reduces the risk of burns and dropped pans when moving hot cookware without needing a cloth or oven glove. It is particularly useful when both hands are occupied and a quick, single-handed grip is needed on a saucepan or stockpot rim.
- Spring-loaded mechanism for a consistent, secure hold
- Universal fit suitable for a range of pan rim sizes
- Lightweight enough to keep close to hand during service
- Reduces reliance on cloths or gloves for brief pan movements
- Simple to clean and store
There is not a great deal to consider from an installation or setup perspective — this is a hand-held tool with no power or water requirements. It is worth confirming that the grip range is compatible with the specific pans used in your kitchen before ordering, as pan rim profiles do vary across different cookware ranges.
This gripper suits most general commercial kitchen settings where quick, safe pan handling is needed. It is a practical addition to any section where staff regularly move hot pans during service. If you have questions about suitability for a particular type of cookware or volume of use, we are happy to help.
£38.69(£46.43 inc VAT)
Acetate roll is a standard working material in professional bakery and pastry kitchens, used to line cake rings and moulds, create clean collar edges on gateaux and entremet, and protect finished cakes during chilling, display, or transport. This roll from Schneider is 60mm wide and made from HPVC, a firm, food-safe plastic that holds its shape reliably when wrapped around a cake ring or mould.
In a busy pastry section, the practical value of acetate is consistency. A clean acetate collar gives a sharp, smooth edge to mousse cakes, mirror-glaze finishes, and chilled desserts without the risk of tearing or sticking that comes with inferior material. The HPVC construction means the roll cuts cleanly and sits flush against the inside of a ring without buckling, which matters when appearance is part of the finished product.
At 300 metres per roll, this is a trade quantity suited to operations that work through acetate regularly — patisseries, hotel pastry kitchens, large-scale cake production, and catering operations producing desserts in volume. Having a full roll in stock avoids the interruption of running short mid-service or mid-batch.
- Keeps moulded cakes and desserts protected during refrigeration and transport
- Produces a clean, professional edge on collar-set cakes and entremets
- Cuts and handles easily at the bench without specialist tools
- Suitable for use with standard cake rings, moulds, and springform tins
If you are unsure whether 60mm suits your typical cake height or mould depth, or whether a different width would serve your menu better, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.
£24.30(£29.16 inc VAT)
The Scaritech BR001 is a straight-pin flour brush designed for use in professional baking and pastry environments. It is used to distribute flour evenly across work surfaces and dough, and to brush away excess flour without disturbing the texture or structure of the product being worked. The wooden handle and white silk bristles make it a straightforward, purpose-built tool for daily bakery use.
In a busy pastry section or bakery kitchen, consistent flour management directly affects the quality of the finished product. A well-balanced brush like this allows bakers to work quickly and cleanly, reducing waste and keeping prep surfaces in order during service. The silk bristles are gentle enough to use on delicate doughs without leaving marks or dragging.
Practical advantages of this brush in a professional setting include:
- Even flour distribution across dough and baking surfaces
- Soft bristles suitable for delicate pastry work
- Food-safe materials throughout construction
- Lightweight and easy to handle during extended prep sessions
- Simple to clean and maintain between uses
This is a hand-use tool with no installation requirements. It is worth noting that the wooden construction means it should not be submerged in water for prolonged periods, as this can cause the handle to swell or the bristles to loosen over time. Wiping clean or a brief rinse is the recommended approach.
The BR001 suits professional bakers, pastry chefs, and catering kitchens where bread, pastry, or dough-based products are prepared regularly. It is a single-purpose tool rather than a general-purpose brush, so kitchens with varied needs may find value in holding more than one brush type.
If you are equipping a new bakery section or want to check whether this brush suits your specific prep workflow, our team is happy to help.
£6.35(£7.62 inc VAT)
Baking beans are a straightforward blind-baking aid used to weigh down pastry cases during the initial bake. Placed over a layer of greaseproof paper inside the unbaked shell, they hold the pastry flat against the tin, preventing the base from puffing up and the sides from collapsing inward before the filling goes in. This set contains 500g of ceramic beans, supplied in a lidded storage tub.
Ceramic is a practical material choice for this application. It retains and distributes heat steadily, which helps the pastry base cook through evenly rather than leaving soft or underdone patches. The weight of the beans is sufficient to keep the pastry pressed firmly in place throughout the blind-bake, reducing the likelihood of air pockets forming beneath the base.
- Reusable and easy to store in the supplied tub between uses
- Ceramic construction handles repeated oven cycles without degrading
- Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the pastry base
- Suitable for shortcrust, sweet pastry, and similar blind-baked cases
These beans are suited to smaller professional operations — patisseries, café kitchens, and catering teams producing tarts, quiches, or pastry-based desserts in moderate volumes. For high-output production where multiple tins are blind-baked simultaneously in rapid succession, a larger quantity of beans will typically be needed. That is worth considering before committing to a single 500g tub.
If you are equipping a pastry section and are unsure how much to order for your production volumes, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£539.00(£646.80 inc VAT)
The Schneider cream injector is a manually operated pastry filling tool designed for consistent, controlled portioning of creams, jams, custards and other homogeneous fillings. A lever mechanism drives the filling piston, pushing the chosen filling through the nozzle with each press. The stainless steel bowl holds three litres of filling and can be covered to protect contents between use — practical when working through a large batch of pastries on a busy morning.
In a production bakery or busy catering kitchen, consistency and speed matter. The lever action gives the operator direct control over each shot of filling, and the adjustable dosing mechanism allows you to set a repeatable portion size, which helps reduce waste and keeps product quality uniform across a full batch. Whether you're filling doughnuts to order or working through trays of croissants ahead of service, the tool handles the repetitive work reliably without fatigue becoming a factor.
From a practical standpoint, the unit breaks down into components that are straightforward to clean, which is important when switching between fillings or closing down at the end of service. Key operational advantages include:
- Adjustable dosing helps maintain portion consistency and reduce filling waste
- Lever action keeps the operator in control without mechanical complexity
- Lidded bowl protects filling from contamination during use
- Component construction supports thorough cleaning between filling changes
This injector requires no power supply and has a compact footprint, so it fits into most prep areas without dedicated space planning. It is best suited to bakeries, patisseries, hotel banqueting kitchens and catering operations with regular pastry output. For sites producing very high volumes, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity or motorised alternative would better suit the throughput required.
If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your production volume or filling type, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This 20cm stainless steel sifter from Tellier is a straightforward professional tool designed for sifting flour, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and similar dry ingredients. The ultra-fine mesh breaks up compacted clusters and removes any larger particles, delivering a consistent, lump-free result before ingredients go into the mix.
In a working pastry or bakery section, consistency in preparation matters. Unsifted flour or icing sugar with lumps can affect batter texture, sauce smoothness, and the finish on plated desserts. A reliable sifter used as a matter of course helps avoid those small inconsistencies that add up over a service. The 20cm diameter is practical for moderate batch work — large enough to move through ingredients at a reasonable pace without being unwieldy on a prep bench.
The stainless steel construction keeps maintenance straightforward. It rinses clean easily, resists staining from sugars and starches, and holds up well to daily use and regular washing. There are no plastic components to crack or discolour over time.
- Breaks up compacted flour and icing sugar for consistent preparation
- Resists rust, staining, and impact damage from daily kitchen use
- Easy to rinse and clean between uses during service
- Practical 20cm diameter suits moderate batch and prep work
- No plastic parts — fully stainless construction throughout
This sifter is well suited to pastry sections, bakery operations, and any kitchen producing cakes, desserts, or confectionery regularly. It is a single-purpose tool — if your operation involves very high-volume sifting, a larger or mechanised option may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a pastry section and want guidance on the full range of preparation tools, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Schneider 18mm star piping tube is a standard bakery and pastry tool used to pipe rosettes, shells, borders, and other star-profile decorations onto cakes, tarts, and confectionery. Made from stainless steel, it fits into a conventional piping bag coupler or sits directly inside a piping bag, and the 18mm opening produces a well-defined star pattern suitable for both finishing work and larger-volume piped portions.
In a busy pastry section or production bakery, consistency matters. A well-made metal tube holds its shape under repeated pressure and resists the deformation that cheaper plastic equivalents can develop over time. The stainless steel construction also makes cleaning straightforward — it can go through a commercial dishwasher without warping or corroding, which is a practical advantage when a team is turning around large batches.
- Produces clean, defined star profiles for consistent presentation
- Stainless steel resists deformation under sustained piping pressure
- Compatible with standard piping bags and couplers
- Dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning between uses
- Lightweight and easy to handle during extended decoration work
There are no installation requirements — this is a hand tool that needs only a piping bag and the appropriate filling. The 18mm size is a common mid-range choice for decorative work; kitchens requiring finer detail work or larger statement portions will find smaller and larger star tubes better suited to those tasks.
This tube is well suited to professional pastry kitchens, hotel banqueting operations, and production bakeries where reliable, repeatable piping results are needed day to day. If you are building out a full set of piping tubes or are unsure which sizes suit your menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£4.53(£5.44 inc VAT)
This is a 12-inch square cake board from PME, covered in silver foil and constructed to a 12mm thickness. It is a straightforward, functional board designed to support finished, decorated cakes during presentation and service — preventing the base from flexing or distorting under the weight of the cake above.
In a professional bakery or patisserie setting, board rigidity matters more than it might seem. A board that gives way during transport or plating can damage hours of decoration work. At 12mm thick, this board holds its shape reliably and will not bend or buckle when lifted by the edges, which is the situation where cheaper, thinner boards most commonly fail.
- Solid 12mm construction resists flexing under a fully decorated cake
- Foil surface provides a clean, professional presentation finish
- Square format suits celebration cakes, traybakes, and layered sponges
- Foil surface can be covered with fondant or ribbon for a more discreet finish
- Suitable for use under buttercream, ganache, or fondant-covered cakes
The foil finish is standard silver, which works well for most presentation purposes. Where a more neutral or decorated base is preferred, the board can be wrapped with sugarpaste or ribbon before the cake is placed, which is common practice in professional finishing work.
This board is best suited to bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations producing individual celebration cakes or portioned traybakes at the 12-inch scale. For smaller finished cakes, smaller square boards are available in the same range; for larger tiers or display pieces, larger formats may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure which board size or thickness suits your particular application, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are standard paper cupcake cases from PME, supplied in red in packs of 60. PME is a well-established name in the baking supplies market, and their cupcake cases are commonly used in bakeries, cafés, hotels, and catering operations where a consistent, reliable case is needed for everyday production.
The cases are made from paper and sized to fit standard cupcake and muffin trays, making them straightforward to use in commercial baking workflows. The block colour finish holds well through baking, which helps with presentation on counters and display stands without requiring additional decoration.
- Consistent paper construction suitable for commercial baking trays
- Block red colour holds through baking for clean presentation
- Compatible with standard cupcake and muffin tin formats
- Supplied in packs of 60, practical for batch baking
- Part of a wider colour range if multiple options are needed
These cases are best suited to operations producing cupcakes regularly — bakeries, café counters, event caterers, and hotel patisserie sections. For operations producing in particularly high volumes, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size would reduce handling and reordering frequency. PME also produce these cases in a range of other colours, which is useful if you need consistent branding across a display or want to differentiate product lines visually.
If you are unsure which case size or colour works best for your setup, the team is happy to help.
£27.29(£32.75 inc VAT)
The Scaritech half head flour brush is a straightforward, well-made tool designed for everyday use in bakery and pastry production environments. The half head format — narrower than a full-width pastry brush — gives bakers better directional control when dusting work surfaces, proofing boards, or removing excess flour from shaped dough without disturbing the surface.
In a working bakery, this kind of tool earns its place through consistent, reliable performance in repetitive tasks. Whether it's flouring bannetons between batches, keeping bench surfaces clean during high-volume production, or applying a light dusting to laminated doughs, the half head size suits tasks where a full brush would be unwieldy. The wooden handle gives a comfortable, balanced grip during extended use, and the white bristles allow easy visual inspection for cleanliness.
From a practical standpoint, the brush offers a few clear advantages for production kitchens:
- Half head width gives precise control on smaller dough pieces and tight areas
- Wood and white silk bristles are suitable for food contact applications
- Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use
- White bristles make soiling and wear easy to spot during checks
- Straightforward to rinse clean between tasks or at end of service
As with any natural bristle brush, this tool suits dry flour work rather than wet glazes or egg washes, where a silicone or dedicated pastry brush would be more appropriate. It is a manually cleaned item and should be inspected regularly for bristle condition as part of normal kitchen hygiene practice.
This brush is a practical everyday choice for craft bakeries, patisseries, and pastry sections in hotel or restaurant kitchens. It is better suited to production environments where this type of task is a regular part of the workflow rather than occasional use.

£4.86(£5.83 inc VAT)
The Schneider 40mm stainless steel spatula is a narrow, flat-bladed lifting tool designed for use in bakery and pastry production. The thin stainless steel blade slides cleanly beneath bread rolls, biscuits, pastries and similar baked goods, allowing them to be lifted and transferred without tearing the base or distorting the shape.
In a working bakery or pastry kitchen, where trays turn over quickly and products need to be moved promptly after coming out of the oven, a reliable spatula of this type earns its place. The narrow 40mm blade is particularly useful where products are closely spaced on a tray, giving you more precise control than a wider turner would allow. The stainless steel blade holds its shape under regular use and does not flex or warp with heat exposure over time.
- Thin blade edge slides beneath delicate baked products without damage
- Narrow width suits closely spaced items on baking sheets
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands daily use
- Polypropylene handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended tasks
- Lightweight build reduces hand fatigue during high-volume production
This spatula is suited to bakeries, hotel kitchens, patisseries and any operation producing baked goods at volume. It is a standard working tool rather than a specialist item, and fits comfortably alongside existing bakeware and pastry utensils. If your operation handles larger or heavier products, a wider-bladed turner may offer better support.
If you are equipping a new bakery section and want guidance on which utensils to include in your kit, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice.
£24.11(£28.93 inc VAT)
This Vogue set contains 26 piping tubes in an assorted range of nozzle profiles, made from stainless steel. It is designed to support decorative work across cakes, pastries, and confectionery, giving pastry chefs and bakery staff a broad selection of tip shapes without needing to source individual nozzles separately.
In a working patisserie or bakery setting, having a range of profiles immediately to hand saves time during service preparation and allows staff to move between decorating styles — rosettes, shells, writing lines, star bursts — without interruption. Stainless steel construction holds up well to daily use and repeated washing, and the material does not retain odours or stain in the way that some plastic alternatives can.
- Assorted nozzle profiles covering common piping applications
- Stainless steel construction — durable and hygienic under regular use
- Suitable for use with standard piping bags
- Easy to clean and dishwasher compatible
- Compact storage footprint at 200 x 100mm
Sets of this kind are well suited to small to mid-sized bakeries, hotel patisserie sections, and catering operations where decorating work forms a regular part of production. For higher-volume operations or specialist work requiring a more extensive range of profiles, it is worth considering a larger or more specialised set.
If you are unsure whether this set covers the profiles your team needs most, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£1.93(£2.32 inc VAT)
These PME pastel cupcake cases are paper baking cases designed for producing consistent, presentation-ready cupcakes in a professional baking environment. Each case is lined to prevent colour or flavour transfer into the batter, which matters when you are working with pale or delicately flavoured sponges. The pastel colour range suits a variety of presentation styles and is commonly used for celebration baking, event catering, and patisserie work.
In a production baking context, these cases perform reliably across standard muffin and cupcake trays. The sizing — fractionally smaller than some standard cases — allows for easier release from the tray after baking without tearing or distorting the case. For bakeries or catering operations producing runs of cupcakes for events or retail display, that consistency in release and appearance reduces handling time and waste.
- Lined paper construction prevents colour bleed into batter
- Slightly reduced diameter aids clean release from baking trays
- Pastel finish suits event catering and celebration baking
- 60 cases per pack supports batch baking runs
These cases are suitable for most standard commercial cupcake and muffin tray formats. They are a single-use consumable and are not intended for reuse or high-temperature baking beyond standard sponge temperatures. If you are producing at higher volume and need cases in larger pack quantities, it is worth discussing your throughput requirements with us before ordering.
If you are unsure whether this case size is right for your tray format or production volume, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.
£20.74(£24.89 inc VAT)
This Schneider flour sieve has a 0.5mm mesh and is made from polypropylene throughout. It is a straightforward, practical tool designed for dusting flour, icing sugar, or cocoa powder over baked goods, or for sifting dry ingredients to remove lumps before mixing. There is nothing complicated about it — it does a simple job reliably and consistently.
In a busy bakery or pastry section, a sieve like this earns its place through frequency of use. The fine 0.5mm mesh produces an even, controlled dusting that is difficult to achieve by hand, which matters when presentation is part of the product. The polypropylene construction keeps the weight low, which reduces hand fatigue during repeated use across a long shift.
A few practical points worth noting:
- 0.5mm mesh gives a fine, even dusting suitable for flour, icing sugar, and cocoa
- Polypropylene construction is lightweight and resistant to moisture absorption
- Dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Compact enough to store easily in a busy baking station
- Suitable for both dusting finished bakes and sifting dry ingredients pre-mix
This is a small-scale tool suited to individual or low-volume use. For high-throughput production where larger quantities of dry ingredients need sifting continuously, a free-standing mechanical or rotary sieve would be more appropriate. This product is best matched to patisserie sections, small bakeries, or kitchen stations where dusting and finishing work is done by hand.
If you are putting together a bakery section and want to make sure you have the right tools for your workflow, our team is happy to talk it through.
