THE BLACK POUND PAYS HOMAGE TO - SUNRISE BAKERY

 

Culture and tradition are synonymous to each other. Without each other they are weaker, together they become stronger, develop and expand. The Black Pound believes how we spend our money is important and who we support and promote.

Businesses which have contributed to the fabric of our culture and who have also positioned themselves to sustain, promote, and maintain the future for our traditions should be celebrated, and rewarded.

The Black Pound has sought to contact this company as it has silently provided our community throughout the UK with a product we all love and have enjoyed for decades.

The Black Pound pays homage to SUNRISE BAKERY. Nestled in Smethwick, at this bakery has provided the communities from the Lancashire district to Yorkshire, and the midlands through to Bedfordshire encompassing all the communities there in.

The delicious range of cakes and breads available are vast .The authentic tastes of the cinnamon and spices precisely measured to create the sweet spicy bun to name but one of their delicious ranges of products. Sunrise Bakery have honed their craft, every bun feels and tastes individual and never looses its texture or taste.

The hard dough bread as we know it has many other names but we all know it is one of our best kept secrets. We all know and understand why this bread is unique. It has a brown/orange exterior which acts like a skin as it is millimeters thick, the texture of the bread itself is pure white, it has a soft dough like imagery almost similar to inside of a Johnny cake but the hard dough bread has no air pockets .It is soft pressed and almost sweet in taste.

Sunrise Bakery have perfected the ingredients for hard dough bread with a near perfect formula, to produce hard dough bread it mixed by introducing the ingredients at given intervals, then the dough is either plaited, cubed, or half moon in design before been placed in there individual baking tin ready to be patiently proved, before the baking is introduced.

Each loaf is individually placed in a bag with the synonymous Sunrise Bakery emblem printed on the centre of the bag and sealed. Finally they are distributed to our local convenience store within their delivery network which would receive their orders.

The Sunrise Bakery has been in business since 1966. The ranges of cakes are:

 

BANANA CAKE
A moist banana flavour cake with a white yoghurt topping

PINEAPPLE & COCONUT CAKE
A golden yellow pineapple and coconut flavoured cake, topped with a unique icing.

BULLA CAKE
A Ginger flavoured golden brown closed textured cake, baked in individual disk shaped pieces. This cake is eaten as a delicacy with avocado pears in Jamaica.

CHOCOLATE & GINGER CAKE
A ginger flavoured cake topped with a delicious chocolate icing.

JAMAICA RUM CAKE

HARD DOUGH BREAD
A white bread with a very tight crumb and a unique flavour.

SPICY CARROT CAKE
A carrot cake with a hint of spices.

SPICED BUN
A highly spiced fruited bun with a brown close textured crumb, glazed with a sugar based solution.

The Black Pound believes we should thank this wonderful company for positioning themselves at the forefront of our traditions and culture. These brands are our little piece of home as our parents would say.

As children we would sit and listen to our parents tell us stories about their lives “back a yard”, sometimes at bedtime when they would offer us stories of home whilst we sipped our ovaltine or Milo and enjoyed a slice of bun and cheese. This is why we must support Sunrise Bakery and thank all the people involved in this family.

The Black Pound pays Homage to Sunrise Bakery and hope they continue to provide us with their quality products long into the future.
