How to Serve Premium Pastries to Your Team Without a Premium Headache
Treating your team should feel fun. It shouldn’t feel like juggling menus, budgets, emails, and “Can we make that gluten-free?” all before your first coffee.
That’s where premium pastries shine. They look impressive, feel thoughtful, and bring a little spark to meetings, milestones, and sleepy Monday mornings. The only problem? Sourcing them can easily turn into a mini project on its own.
This blog is all about making that process smoother. Less hassle. More flaky layers and happy faces.
Why Premium Pastries Just Work at Work
There’s a reason pastry boxes disappear faster than emails get answered. Pastries make office life feel a bit more special.
Think about:
Monday kick-offs with mini croissants and coffee
Monthly town halls with neat rows of tarts and petit gâteaux
New hires welcomed with a sweet spread in the pantry
Closed deals celebrated with something prettier than a supermarket cake
Pastries are shareable. They’re easy to eat while chatting. They can be dressed up for boardrooms or kept casual for pantry catch-ups. Plus, they photograph well, hello, internal Slack channels and LinkedIn posts.
Done right, they send a quiet message to your team: “We see you. You matter.”
The Hidden Headache Behind “Let’s Just Order Pastries”
Of course, anyone who has actually arranged these treats knows there’s a lot happening behind that pretty pastry tray.
You might find yourself:
Comparing 10 tabs of bakeries that look similar
Guessing portion sizes (“Is one pastry per person enough?”)
Trying to remember who is dairy-free, nut-free, or prefers savoury
Worrying if things will arrive fresh and on time
Juggling approvals and payment details
Suddenly, the simple idea of “Let’s get something nice for the team” starts to nibble away at your time. Especially if you’re handling HR, admin, or operations, pastry planning is just one tiny item in a long, crowded to-do list.
This is exactly why working with a wholesale-focused partner can make life easier. You tap into a system that’s built for volume, consistency, and repeat orders without turning you into a full-time event planner.
Your 10-Minute Office Pastry Game Plan
Here’s a quick, practical way to sort pastries for your team in about 10 minutes. Keep this as a mental checklist, and you’ll save yourself a lot of back-and-forth.
1. Decide the “moment”
Is this for a weekly meeting, a birthday, a client visit, or a once-a-quarter treat? The occasion shapes how “fancy” you need the pastries to be.
2. Confirm headcount (then add a buffer)
Take your actual number of attendees and add 10–15%. No stress if someone brings a guest or if appetites run higher than usual.
3. Mix bite-sized and full-sized pieces
Petite desserts are perfect for offices. A mix of mini tarts, small cakes, and petite choux or éclairs allows people to try more than one flavour without feeling too full. Add a few full-sized pieces for those who love a proper indulgence.
4. Cover at least one savoury option
Not everyone has a sweet tooth in the morning. Adding savoury pastries, like quiches or filled puffs, keeps things balanced and stops sugar crashes mid-meeting.
5. Include a simple label plan
Ask for clear labelling: flavour names and basic notes like “contains nuts” or “vegetarian”. This tiny detail saves a hundred questions at the table.
6. Set your budget per head
Instead of thinking, “How much can we spend?”, think “How much per person feels comfortable?” It makes it easier to pick a range that fits everything together.
7. Choose a wholesale partner you can use again
Look for a pastry supplier that remembers your orders, keeps records of what worked, and can repeat or adjust without starting from scratch every time.
With this sorted, all you need is a partner who can translate these decisions into an actual pastry spread without fuss.
Choosing Pastries That Keep Everyone Happy
Office pastry spreads work best when they feel like a little tasting tour. A few ideas:
Mix textures: flaky, creamy, crunchy, soft
Pair classics (croissants, fruit tarts) with a few playful options (fusion flavours, surprising fillings)
Include variety in colours and shapes so the table looks inviting at first glance
Think in “bites”, not just slices. Petite desserts make sharing easier and reduce waste
Two Bakers has always had a soft spot for these smaller treats. Bite-sized pieces feel less intimidating than a large slice on a big plate. People can try a small lemon tart, then a mini chocolate piece, and maybe a little choux without feeling like they’ve overdone it.
The result? More people join in, more flavours get sampled, and your spread looks full and generous without being excessive.

Why Two Bakers Now Focuses on Wholesale and Corporate Orders
Here’s the key shift: We are no longer a café and no longer handle one-off consumer orders or casual deliveries.
Instead, we build pastry experiences for:
Offices and corporate teams
Events, meetings, and training days
Regular standing orders for recurring sessions
Wholesale partners, wedding clients, and other celebrations
This focus matters because it shapes how we work with you.
You’re not treated like a one-time walk-in. Instead, you get:
A consistent point of contact for your orders
Clear guidance on quantities and mix
Options that make sense for pantry setups, boardrooms, and break-out spaces
Menus and assortments designed with offices in mind
Because our pastry production is already structured for wholesale, we can help you think in trays, sets, and combinations that make sense for real teams, rather than just café-style single purchases.
Making Office Treats Feel Special Without Extra Stress
Serving premium pastries to your team doesn’t have to feel like a mini event production. With the right partner, it can be as simple as:
One email or call to confirm headcount, budget, and occasion
A suggested mix of sweet and savoury pieces
A confirmed delivery window
Labels that make your spread look organised and thoughtful
Two Bakers steps into that role for companies across Singapore. We bring our pastry craft, our love for petite desserts, and our eye for presentation into a format that fits the way offices actually run.
You get the trays, the variety, the “wow, this looks amazing” comments—without losing your afternoon to planning.
So the next time someone says, “Let’s get something nice for the team,” you don’t have to brace yourself for extra work. You can simply smile, place a wholesale or corporate order with Two Bakers, and let the pastries do the talking.
