Frequently asked questions — Everything you need to know about Marlette baking mixes
What fresh ingredients do I need to add to my baking mix?
Generally, you'll only need a few staples you already have in your kitchen. Depending on the recipe, set aside some butter (or oil), fresh eggs and milk. These additions ensure a soft, tender texture and an authentic flavour — with none of the additives found in mass-produced products. The exact quantities are always clearly listed on the back of each Marlette packet.
Are Marlette baking mixes truly organic?
Yes, all our baking mixes are organic. The ingredients are chosen for their quality: French flours from organic farming, unrefined sugars, fair-trade chocolate, natural sourdough starters. No artificial colourings, no synthetic flavourings.
Are there any savoury mixes in the Marlette range?
Yes. Alongside our sweet recipes, Marlette offers savoury baking mixes such as our soft focaccia, which is ideal for aperitif spreads or a convivial evening meal. We also offer recipes that are easy to adapt — like our scones, which work beautifully in a savoury version: with bacon and cheese, for example, they're simply perfect for sharing over drinks.
Can I personalise the Marlette baking mix recipes?
Of course! Our bases are made to be made your own. You can fold crushed hazelnuts into your brownie, add extra chocolate chips to your cookies, or stir a hint of cinnamon through your pancakes.
Where can I find Marlette baking mixes?
You'll find our full range directly in our Pigalle and Montmartre coffee shops. Our baking mixes are also available through our retail partners across France, so you can bring the Marlette spirit home no matter how far from the capital you are.
How long does it take to bake a cake with a Marlette mix?
The whole idea is to make your life easier without taking any of the joy out of baking. On average, it takes just 5 to 10 minutes to combine the fresh ingredients with your mix before it goes into the oven. It's the perfect solution for an impromptu afternoon treat or a successful brunch, without spending your whole morning in the kitchen.
What's the difference between the pastries in the coffee shops and the baking mixes?
In our coffee shops, our pastries are made fresh every day by our team, ready to be enjoyed on the spot. Our baking mixes, on the other hand, are crafted so you can recreate that exact same homemade flavour in your own kitchen. We hold the same standards of quality for the ingredients, so that the cake you pull from your oven is every bit as generous and delicious as the one you might have ordered at one of our tables.
Are Marlette baking mixes suitable for beginners?
Absolutely — our mixes are designed to make baking approachable without ever compromising on quality. The steps are pared back to the bare essentials to save you time and take the guesswork out of measuring. Even if you've never cracked an egg, you'll achieve results worthy of a professional. It's the perfect way to discover the pleasure of homemade baking, with the confidence of guaranteed success.
How should I store my cakes once they're baked?
To keep your bakes beautifully soft, we recommend wrapping them in a clean cloth. You can also store them in an airtight tin kept at room temperature. In these conditions, your pastries will stay delicious for 3 to 4 days after coming out of the oven. For cookies, a metal tin is ideal for preserving their characteristic crunch for as long as possible.
