Tradition and great taste in a new way

Baking buns for birthdays is an old tradition. Celebrating birthdays goes back several hundred years—at first for the nobility and the upper middle class, but by the end of the 1800s it became common practice for everyone. Favorita carries on the tradition in the best way—now in an easy, practical, modern format. All ingredients except water and yeast are mixed in the box and ready to use. Unlike in the old days, you don’t need to set aside lots of time to shop for everything first, dig the rest out of drawers and cupboards, follow a recipe, and measure out ingredients into bowls. You also avoid flour, eggshells, and used kitchen tools all over the table that you have to clean up after baking. Favorita Birthday Buns simply make the whole baking process much easier and simpler. That really matters in a busy everyday life, when it can otherwise be hard to find time to keep festive baking traditions alive. Less effort, but the same fragrant, delicious result that quickly spreads eager joy. Favorita makes it easy for you to treat the people you care about and carry on the festive birthday tradition.

Home baking is something you can do together

Who doesn’t love wonderful home baking fresh from the oven—snatched up faster than it can even cool? Favorita Birthday Buns are perfect for baking together. Everyone can join in, young and old, and across generations it’s easy to come together around a cosy baking activity. In the kitchen with Favorita, it’s easy to hand out the few necessary tasks, and before you know it everyone can knead the soft bun dough and shape lovely buns—maybe in a fun shape and with raisins? Favorita Birthday Buns are easy to make and taste fantastic, birthday or not. The dough mix can also be used for, for example, cinnamon rolls. Roll out the finished dough into a rectangle and spread with remonce (butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixed together), then roll it up into a long log, slice it, and let it rise on the baking tray. Bake at 200°C. Once cooled, you can add icing. With Favorita, it’s always easy to bake together. It takes minimal prep and means less washing-up and tidying afterwards, so there’s time for what matters: enjoying yourselves and, together, enjoying the delicious homemade baking.
