The American Egg Board (AEB) will exhibit at the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) Show in Las Vegas. Attendees will be able to find the AEB at Booth #1226 and at the Exhibitor Demo Stage on Sept. 9. 

This global event occurs only once every three years and supports bakeries large and small. Attendees can discover the multiple functional and organoleptic benefits eggs provide to baked goods like sponge cake, batter cake, muffins and more at the AEB booth, which will be featuring samples highlighting a few of the 20-plus functional properties of eggs. At the show, the AEB will also be hosting a presentation, “REAL Eggs: Integral Role in Baking,” at the Exhibitor Demo Stage and releasing a new baking white paper. 

Visit Booth for Indulgent Samples with Natural Ingredients

Recent consumer research, particularly that conducted by the Hartman Group, Inc., shows that for all consumers in any demographic, two key qualities desired in baked goods are freshness and natural ingredients.

Indulgence with natural ingredients—like the egg—is on the menu at the AEB booth, with samples that include biscotti, flourless chocolate torte and a sponge cake chocolate mousse trio. Product form, flavor, mouthfeel and texture, like the crisp crunch of biscotti, the firm yet springy texture of sponge cake or the smooth texture of mousse depend on different aspects of egg ingredient functionality. 

Attend REAL Eggs Demo on Sept. 9

The AEB will be showcasing how REAL eggs contribute to sponge cake quality in its session, REAL Eggs: Integral Role in Baking. In this half-hour session, attendees will learn and taste how REAL eggs can positively impact the flavor, batter viscosity, leavening, aroma, emulsification and other qualities of sponge cake. The session will take place at the Exhibitor Demo Stage on Monday, Sept. 9 at 1:30 p.m.

Sponge cake is one of the most commonly available snack cakes in retail stores in the US This type of foam cake relies on whole eggs for its structure, appearance and taste. Its tough, resilient structure is necessary to be able to hold any of a variety of fillings, to be frosted and packaged for shipping.
