II. History
Our business started when we brainstormed a way to bring joy and delight to everyone,
especially in these difficult times caused by the pandemic. We thought of how to satisfy
people's cravings even in the comfort of their homes while still providing a healthy product.
We regard ourselves as business partners who share one passion – serving quality brownies.
It took a thorough survey, research, and a lot of creativity to narrow down ingredients
into healthy alternatives. We figured that one does not have to sacrifice their taste buds to eat
healthily. With a few tweaks here and there, we can open the Bake N' Take Company with our
brownies that serve as rays of hope for those who want to fulfill their sweet tooth with
something nutritious. With a desire to brighten one’s mood by consuming desserts with less
calories, we aim to bring families together and reignite friendships, and offer an assortment of
flavors to choose from.
The Bake N’ Take team consists of students from Xavier Ateneo Senior High School
namely Aljonel Jess Dayao, Roselle Clarabal, Shanna Marie Gara, Paolo Mathew Kho, Sandy
Lumacad, Kyle Ann Llopez, Louisa Bel Huguete, Alexis Miles Guyo, and Dennis Raphael
Garces.

Erythritol is a low-calorie, sugar-free sweetener. It is intended to substitute sugar and calories
in order to provide "diet-friendly" products. Powdered erythritol sweeteners bake similarly to
sugar. It has no effect on glucose or insulin levels, making it a safe sugar substitute for those

MARKETING PLAN
A. Market Analysis
The pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, which led to the closure
of sugar and chocolate manufacturing facilities and the entire confectionery market as a
whole.
We have observed that consumers are looking for a new treat to indulge their cravings
in. There is also a higher demand for healthier snacking, which is why we are opting for
erythritol as the sugar alternative in our product. As part of customer convenience, we decided
to use small, compact, but unique shapes in our product designs as we observed that the busy
lives of consumers are looking for easy-to-consume food. Lifestyle diseases such as diabetes,
blood pressure, and obesity have become a serious health concern among consumers. Since
then, they have been seeking alternatives. Seeing that there are not many producers of sugar-
free brownies in the industry, we sought this opportunity to make it for them.
Our company is targeting busy individuals who are trying to get balance work and
personal obligations. These types of people tend to be more interested in food of convenient
sizes that they could easily put in their bags. Young people, particularly, students from
universities are another, as the youth population is more inclined to consume sweets. In
general, our business is targeted at people of all ages, it is also a bonus for health-conscious
individuals.
There has been a higher demand for customized confectionery as people are
constantly looking for something ‘new.’ We are also looking into the quality of our products
and ensuring that the ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ feel will be the driving force to customer satisfaction.
