Baking

for foodservice, crafted with care

When it comes to bakery, cake and dessert delights, Sara Lee Foodservice has a diverse range of products that offer the quality of fresh, with the added convenience of frozen.

Our delicious recipes are baked with the expertise of our team of pastry chefs, ensuring our products look and taste like they’ve come straight from your kitchen.

Quality Convenience

Sara Lee Foodservice delivers bakery and dessert products that taste freshly made, with the ease of frozen—crafted with no added preservatives or artificial flavours and backed by a standard 18-month frozen shelf life for quality and convenience.

Expert Craftsmanship

Our experienced pastry chefs craft recipes that look and taste truly homemade, drawing on decades of expertise—many have been perfecting their craft with Sara Lee for 30 years or more.

A legacy

baked to perfection

In 1971 we opened our doors at Lisarow NSW and have continued to supply the Australian Foodservice market for over 45 years.

The dedication and expertise of our pastry chefs ensure we deliver only the highest quality and most consistent bakery, dessert and cake products. While the industry has evolved over the decades, our team has remained adaptable—refining and innovating recipes without ever compromising on quality.
