We are richer for having known him and his contributions to UMBA are enormous. Right up until his final days, he was eager to share his knowledge, enthusiasm and ideas for the baking industry right here in our backyard (the upper Midwest). We will all miss him, but recognize that his impact is far reaching. Our condolences go out to his wife Joann, and his family for their loss. For me personally, Curt was someone whom I had great respect and was looking forward to working closely within our association, UMBA. With your support, I plan to carry on his vision of a strong baking association. Your UMBA board met recently to put together our ‘Strategic Plan’ for our immediate future, and created a ‘roadmap’ to direct our organization for its immediate future. On another note, listed below are some of our immediate goals: • P romoting education through enhanced scholarship programs in our baking field. We are in the process of creating two new ‘baking’ scholarships, and we are working on the details to honor Curt Borchert and Dexter Larson, Minnesota’s own, in creating and funding yearly scholarships in Curt’s and Dexter’s names. Fundraising will start immediately to raise the necessary money so that we can afford to honor those who have taught so many in the past. The cost of education has risen significantly, and to promote and educate our industry, will take time, money and effort. • Our Association is looking to Improve communication with our members through electronic media (newsletter) • Looking to Improve networking and partnering with regional food organizations, including Wisconsin Bakers, Minnesota Restaurants, non-profit groups promoting within our industry • Bi-lingual Resource Materials In the coming months, we can look forward to our October MOA (Mall of America) Cake Decorating contest which Lynn Schurman has worked to make one of the finest competitions within our industry. I look to build on the many solid accomplishments of our rich and proud organization, and will make every attempt to reach out to all of you, looking for your input in making UMBA, one of the premier baking organizations. Your 2013 UMBA Bakery Convention theme is “The Heat is On”, an appropriate theme with the typically cold seasonal weather, what the Bakery’s are ‘heating up’ for their customers will be a delight. It’s a catchy phrase in which the Beverly’s Hills cops borrowed from us for their movie. Put on your calendar for 2013, the dates of February 23rd and 24th and make plans for your annual UMBA bakery convention. Peter Nowicki Readers – please note openings. Your participation as a UMBA Board Member would be most appreciated. If interested contact Pete Nowicki or another board member for more information. 3 Upper Midwest Baker Fall 2012 The Internet Saved Her Bakery By David S. Cargo Faced with a cash problem in 2012, she reached back to her previous solution, but with a broader reach through more expansive use of social networking. She had started on Facebook in 2007, although she didn’t actively start using it until 2009. These days, the Saint Paul Classic Cookie Company has over 2000 “Likes” on Facebook. She posts “hot cookie” updates throughout the day to let people know what’s baking. Her customers can check to see what she is doing and provide feedback and suggestions. When she posted her need to sell “cookies from the future” she was able to be back in business in a week. (She had to close Aug. 16 but was back Aug. 24.) She says, “I think folks have been really rooting for us to make it through the construction season already and this was a tangible way for folks to help us pay for our license fee so we could reopen.” The future The recent situation For Katie Novotny, owner of Saint Paul Classic Cookie Company, the recent heat wave capped a series of events that threatened to close her business. Already dealing with the huge drop in pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood in Saint Paul caused by construction of the light rail line on University Avenue. The thermal stress of the heat wave killed her air conditioning. That was followed by the failures of a cooler, a freezer, oven, coffee brewer, another cooler, and finally her mixer. Paying for repairs of essential equipment and other immediate business costs left her with a cash flow crunch that put her behind on paying her license fees to the city of Saint Paul. She discovered reading the newspaper that she had lost her license. She was out of business unless she could find a solution to her liquidity gap. The solution This was not the first rough patch for the Saint Paul Classic Cookie Company. Katie opened the company (at a different location) in 2006. The recession forced her to close her downtown Saint Paul location in 2009. When she found a new location, she needed to upgrade some aspects of the kitchen, so she came up with the idea of selling “cookies from the future.” This allowed her to open her location at 2386 West Territorial Road in January 2010. Katie recognizes that long-term growth requires that she expand her menu and her hours. She is trying to do that by creating a project on Kickstarter, an internet “crowd funding” site. If she can conclude a successful Kickstarter project, she will have the money to upgrade her equipment for her planned expansion. If you haven’t heard of Kickstarter, it was founded in 2009 to act as a funding mechanism for creative projects. Some of these have been related to food-oriented businesses. According to their own pages, less than half of the projects conclude successfully. www.uppermidwestbakery.net Katie’s snickderdoodles were selected by Minnesota Monthly as the best snickerdoodles in their November 2011 “Best of the Twin Cities” article. Two successes One project that concluded successfully was for Vergennes Laundry, a wood-fired bakery. Their project started raising their goal of $12,000 on June 3, 2010, and concluded successfully on Aug. 5, 2010. Their oven got built (in Vergennes, Vermont), and they are up and running, recently getting a good mention in the New York Times. Closer to home, there was a project for a wood-fired oven for Alice the Cook. You might know Alice the Cook from the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Alice (real name Anila Olsen) started her Kickstarter project with a goal of $4,500 on May 17, 2012, and successfully concluded it on July 1, 2012. This gave her enough time to acquire the oven, get it assembled, tested, and broken in before the start of the 2012 Renfest. A failure Around the corner from the Saint Paul Classic Cookie Company was the Caribe restaurant. When the disruption of business caused that business to close, the owners started a Kickstarter project for Caribe 2.0, “A Bigger Brighter Caribe in NE Mpls!” They launched the project with a goal of $50,000 on May 14, 2012, but had only reached $21,092 by the close of the project on June 13, 2012. Caribe is still closed. Katie will continue in business regardless of the outcome of her Kickstarter project. She will continue to use Twitter and Facebook to stay in touch with her customers. “I love using Facebook to communicate with my customers. I post pictures of what we’re baking, I post our flavors, what’s hot out of the oven and I love being able to chat with folks about what we do. It has allowed me to meet some really amazing people who I consider friends.” Businesses need to keep in mind that engaging with customers is really the only way to keep in business; these days that can mean using the internet and social media to reach out, even if sometimes it’s to ask for a helping hand. www.facebook.com/StPaulClassicCookieCo saintpaulclassiccookie.blogspot.com/ 4 Attention baking industry! Looking for a place to buy & sell: spare parts equipment surplus ingredients packaging supplies cake decorating equipment & more? Welcome to our user-friendly and industry-specific marketplace! BakersExchange.net/marketplace 5 Upper Midwest Baker Fall 2012 Purefill Thank you UMBA for mentioning Purefill. We are very excited to be joining the association and would like to donate $100 to the UMBA Scholarship Fund for every new customer that mentions this article. Solutions “If you treat people right and take care of your customers, life just seems to work better” said Karen. Mike sees it a little differently: “If I keep Karen happy, life just seems to work better.” Mike and Karen Larson own and operate Purefill Solutions distributing vegetable oil in bulk quantities to the food service industry. The old ways of handling oil in totes and plastic containers is giving way to bulk systems where oil is stored in big tanks and delivered by tanker trucks. “Vegetable oil is a commodity with three companies, Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, and Cenex Harvest States, manufacturing over 90% of the soybean oil in the U.S. Almost all the oil used by every bakery in the United States comes from one of those three companies. The main difference is in the distribution system used to get it to a bakery,” said Mike Larson owner of Purefill Solutions a bulk cooking oil distributor. The company has been growing rapidly in the Twin Cities metro area and is expanding to offer its service all over the upper midwest. According to Mike, “Our sweet spot is bakeries using 2,000 pounds or more of soy or canola oil per week. We can bring them significant value.” Packaging can make up to 20 percent of the cost of oil delivered in 35 pound containers and totes. Because Purefill avoids that expense, it can usually sell oil to its customers at less than what they are paying today said Karen. Purefill makes it easy for the customer to dispense the oil and a typical customer site may include bulk tanks, pumps, hoses, and sometimes metering equipment. Karen said each customer is unique and the equipment required may be different. Purefill helps select equipment that’s right for each site and builds it right into their facility using their onsite installation truck that’s equipped with a mobile machine shop. Karen Larson, Mike’s wife and business partner who runs day to day operations at Purefill says, “Vegetable oil is heavy, slippery, and messy and the best way to handle it is with a bulk system using large tanks, pumps, and trucks. It’s less expensive because packaging costs are virtually eliminated and it’s a lot cleaner and easier to handle. Employees love it and it’s a real cost-effective step forward for just about any bakery or food service.” Purefill is a 14 year-old family-owned company based in St. Paul and both Larsons are involved and work hard to make sure the company meets its customers’ expectations. Purefill oil equipment is easy to use. After an individual evaluation of the customer’s needs Purefill provides a written proposal. At most customer sites, Purefill is responsible for the acquisition, installation and maintenance of the equipment. If possible, tanks are sized so they need to be refilled every three to four weeks. The oil is metered as it is pumped into the customer’s facility so the customer only pays for what is delivered. Their prices are based on volume of oil purchased but also adjust to reflect the increases and decreases of the commodity market. www.uppermidwestbakery.net 6 Lock in Pricing Like any commodity, oil prices change. Mike addresses that by saying: “New customers are always worried we are going to give them a good price up front, then jack it up over time. Anybody can look up the price of oil on the Chicago Board of Trade, sooner or later someone would notice. Life is too short to play games like that. We make our profits on the efficiencies we bring to the distribution side of things.” Email: info@purefilloil.com One type of Purefill’s bulk oil tanks used at a customer site. They serve the metro, out-state Minnesota and the upper midwest.

UMBA is and begins a leader plete an assessment planning on providing more quality Educational provement. Sessions for its members. our staff Website: www.purefilloil.com On the Horizon for UMBA Mail Chimp UMBA is planning to use electronic media to communicate with its members and contacts in the future. The Wisconsin Bakers Association has been using MailChimp as a platform for their communication for sometime. They publish a monthly newsletter, “Beyond Baking” and a bi-weekly email, “Baking Buzz”. One issue is geared to members and the other to baking industry professionals. These email feature the best most progressive information on up coming events, legislative issues that impact the baking industry and follow-up to the important things that we all share as baking industry professionals, as well as providing added returns to our vendors and advertisers. They chose MailChimp for email communication. It is a cost effective means that can handle growth from both inside and outside of the Wisconsin Bakers Association. MailChimp provides ready-made design templates that can be customized. MailChimp incorporates social media as well, so it can automatically post your email to Facebook and Twitter. There would be a transition time from print communication to electronic. Wisconsin did both for three months during which time they solicited emails from their readers. After the three month period the only way to connect was through their electronic connection. Watch for updates on what the future holds for UMBA.

This program has a rather unusual background. In 2007 Don and Dianne Decker (who are owners of the Decker Truck Line started by his father) purchased the American Legion Post 130 Golf Course. Renovations started immediately in March of 2007, with a total overhaul of the facilities. During the next years Iowa Central Community College partnered with the Decker Family to provide a quality facility to the Fort Dodge area, as well as start 3 new programs. They hired a chef from England, Michael Hirst to head the hands-on learning environment for the students of the college in the programs, which were Culinary Arts, Hospitality Management, and Turfgrass management. In 2008 they added Tom Pritchard, a Master Baker, who was managing the local HyVee bakery, to teach the baking and pastry classes in addition to his duties at HyVee. The culinary classes were held on campus, with some of the practical experience being provided at the golf course in the restaurant. Later the baking and pastry classes were moved to a little larger facility to allow the growing number of students to gain more experience in practical work, which included providing some of the bread and pastry items for the restaurant. In January of 2011, Mr. and Mrs. Decker decided to donate Willow Ridge Golf Course to Iowa Central Community College, and since that date the facility has been under full management by the college, and fully utilized by the students as a learning environment. The students work under a full time staff of employees and assist in areas such as Food Preparation, Customer Service, Event Planning and Golf Course Management and Beautification. Plans for the near future include building a new cafeteria on campus, and utilizing the old cafeteria for the hands-on experience for the students, providing a larger and better equipped facility for baking and food preparation. These combined learning experiences will provide program graduates with the necessary skill sets to successfully enter the food industry. The students will complete an on the job training practicum in an industry field of their choice to complete their well rounded culinary program. This would provide the student with a real-life experience and introduction , not only in culinary arts and baking, but also food service management. Those wishing to enter the baking industry will probably want to gain more expertise through work or additional training, but they will have a good basis from which to start. The program has grown steadily since its inception, when there were about 25 students, to next year’s combined freshman and sophomore classes currently estimated at about 160 students! www.uppermidwestbakery.net 8 Upper Midwest Bakery Association 6th Annual Ultimate Cake Decorating Contest Mall of America | East Rotunda Sunday October 14, 2012 | 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Birthday Cake Competition Theme: ‘My Extreme Halloween’ Wedding Cake Competition Theme: ‘Design a Cake for Wendy and Steve’ • Wendy and Steve are the bride and groom the cake will be designed for. • The wedding cake competition is done by a Two-Person Team.

However he leaves a legacy of delight and passes on his zest for life to another generation. He was hired as a Technical Service and Sales Representative for bakery distributors: Puratos, Bretchet and Richter Best Brands. His passion was for baking breads but celebration cakes were always a delight. Our Executive Director for UMBA Curt Borchert died on June 24, 2012 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester of complications from cancer. A light has gone out in the baking industry. A book of knowledge in baking history and the present has been closed. He will be greatly missed. March 1987 he was recognized by the Retail Bakers of America as a Master Baker. February 23, 2012 he was inducted into the Upper Midwest Bakery Hall of Fame, in recognition of your considerable contributions to the Baking Industry by the Upper Midwest Bakery Association. Until his death he served as the Executive Director of the Upper Midwest Bakery Association. Curt was born in Jordan Minnesota, October 30, 1936 and moved to North Mankato at age 9 where he lived until death. Curt’s life was spent in the Baking Industry. He started at age 13 apprenticing at Page’s Bakery in North Mankato. He worked there until age 23 when he was drafted into the US Army. After an honorable discharge he managed the Red Owl Bakery in Lake Crystal and Piggly Wiggly in Mankato. He was a Production Baking Instructor at South Central Technical College North Mankato for 18 years. He then taught at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis for two years. His joys in life included swinging a golf club, boating and fishing, gardening especially flowers and delightful meals using his vegetables. In recent years he enjoyed snowmobiling. His dog Shadow brought him much companionship. The greatest of his delights were his family. He was married for 50 years and will be missed as a husband, dad and grandpa. In honor of Curt, please go out and enjoy a fresh doughnut or pastry.

UMBA By Bill and Robyn Hanisch Have you liked Upper Midwest Bakery Association’s facebook page? Have you checked out other bakery facebook pages? Are you interested in receiving a newsletter via email? Are you upto-date on activities within UMBA? UMBA is moving forward with new ideas that will integrate Facebook, email newsletters, our updated website, and other internet and social media sites. In an age where we live with a phone almost always attached to us, and instant access to the internet almost everywhere we turn, UMBA and our members need to be looking at how we can embrace this and help each other out. We supply the world’s finest yeast and ingredients to commercial bakers. Fresh and Dry yeast, Premium Dough conditioners Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Yelp, and many more are avenues that can help business flourish, or make customers vanish. Social media sites, blog sites, and review sites are all part of our business whether we like it or not. Joy can be right next to dismay, so how do we achieve the first, and avoid the last. For more information your local contact is: I dedicate one day a month to Google and Bing Hanisch Bakery and Coffee Shop as well as Bill Hanisch to see where I pop up. Are the reviews negative, or positive? These comments and opinions have immediate effects on business where in one second a person can go to Google, look at your reviews and decide whether or not they will walk through your door and shop. Visit our web site: www.lesaffreyeastcorp.com There are constant changes with promotions, ideas, and deals on the internet. What is successful, what should I avoid, do they work? UMBA is looking toward how we can help not only on the baking side of things, but also on the technological side of things. Our facebook page is being constructed, our website is nice, but can be better, and our quarterly magazine can be expensive and seems almost outdated. So, all this being said and as we move forward with our new president, a young and eager board, and a search to replace an icon as our executive director, the UMBA group will be looking into a newsletter similiar to the Wisconsin Baker’s newsletter called Bakery Buzz, and expanding our internet and membership reach. We look forward to reaching out to you via the world wide web, and may the yeast be with you. You can link to the Upper Midwest Bakery facebook page with the icon on the top right hand corner of the UMBA website.
