Ontario East Success Story
|
|
Lyn - The kitchen of the Pastry King's Princess is alive with the sound of mixers and the smell of warm cookies and butter.
Ingrid Van Dusen - the namesake of the Pastry King's Princess - is in constant motion at her thriving business off Centennial Road. Her cheerful staff is also moving between bakery tins, icing bowls and putting the finishing touches on intricate pastries and fan favourites. Meanwhile the shop door is swinging open with a steady stream of customers.
"We have so much demand," says a smiling Ingrid, known for her signature Dutch butter cream. Her father, Roelof Hazelaar, who for many years operated The Pastry King in Brockville, taught her the recipe he brought from Holland in the 1950s. Their butter cream is highly recognizable in this region.
"We only use whole foods, real butter and no preservatives," says Ingrid. Pastry King's Princess offers 100-plus bakery products. "Even some of our mistakes have ended up being products," she says. Once an ingredient was left out of a dessert but it was a hit anyway.
