31-3-2015

Mini Pancakes has been chosen as pancake supplier by the Dutch pavilion at the World Expo 2015. During this edition of the world international exhibition in Milan, food plays central role. That’s why the traditional Dutch dish, the mini pancake, can’t be left out. In countries where this company from Bunschoten (NL) is active, including the Gulf States, the mini pancakes turn out to be very popular. So popular that Mini Pancakes recently opened a store in Dubai.

Dubai

Through the activities that took place in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Kuwait and the United Arabic Emirates, Mini Pancakes became the market leader in selling freshly baked mini pancakes. Mini Pancakes is a part of Global Village, the annual international festival in Dubai where over the 5 million visitors pay a visit to. Mini Pancakes received the Best Retail Award last year from Global Village. The youngest son of the sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum handed out this award. With the opening of the permanent Mini Pancakes establishment, the mini pancakes are available in Dubai throughout the year.

Modern form

Mini Pancakes aren’t only served with a simple knob of butter and some sugar. This is just one of the many choices. Other options are white chocolate, Nutella, a variation of syrups, lime and even spreadable cheese as topping. According to Tomek Aalders, director of Mini Pancakes, the mini pancakes aren’t old fashioned but tasty and nice.

World Expo 2015 is from 1 May until 31 October in Milan.

The PancakeBot, 3-D printer for pancakes at your breakfast buffet!

12-3-2015

The PancakeBot allows you to ‘print’ out pancakes into just about any design you can imagine. Especially easy and fun for kids! Great for at your breakfast buffet.

Inspiration: A PancakeBot at your breakfast buffet.

Wouldn’t it be great to serve pancakes with your logo for breakfast? Or the logo of a company visiting your hotel? You could also organize a drawing contest between your youngest guests and serve the drawing of the winner for breakfast. We think that you could make a lasting impression with the PancakeBot.

About the PancakeBot

Although designed to inspire, entertain, and to enjoy the creativity of the users, the PancakeBot also has a commercial durability, it can make your brand leave a lasting impression. The designer of the Pancakebot, Miguel Valenzuela, wanted to make a pancake machine out of LEGO for his two daughters but the PancakeBot evolved into a complete patent pending product capable of creating pancakes. Miguel Valenzuela is succesfully funding at Kickstarter at the moment.

How does it work?

The user-friendly software allows you to design your own pancake by tracing any image right on your computer. From your favorite piece of art or character, a child’s drawing, a product image or your company or team logo, the software creates the file and the PancakeBot does the rest. Once you have traced the image, the files can be stored on an SD card allowing you to print the designs you have created without having to re-trace the image. The PancakeBot uses a patent pending batter dispensing system to ‘print’ the batter onto the included griddle. By using a combination of compressed air and a vacuum, the PancakeBot controls where the batter is dispensed.
