If you think egg prices are hard to handle, a Nutrilac® solution will put you in control of the cost and quality of your cake brand.

Eggs are such a traditional ingredient in many cake recipes that it can be hard to imagine baking without them. But a long history of fluctuating prices and, more recently, a series of supply crises are increasingly making eggs a target for replacement.

The challenge for bakers is how to control the cost and quality of their cake products while pleasing the many consumers who still regard eggs as a natural and desirable ingredient.
