Testimonials

 I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the time, care, and attention you gave us throughout our bakery redesign. It truly made a lasting impact, and we’re incredibly happy with how everything came together. 

"Working with Peter Jacobs was truly transformative for us. About a year ago, Peter took his time to walk through every inch of our bakery, offering a thoughtful and thorough assessment of our space and operations. What really stood out was how he connected with each member of our team—taking the time to listen, engage, and bring everyone into the process.

His guidance helped us take an in-depth look at our baking, refining not only our workflow but also making it more efficient and easier to train our staff moving forward. 

Peter also welcomed our team into his home workshop, where we dove deeply into sourdough techniques—from fermentation to shaping. It was an incredible hands-on learning experience, but also a great opportunity for our team to connect and grow together outside of our usual environment.

Now that our reconstruction is complete, I can confidently say Peter’s expertise helped shape both our production space and our team dynamic. We’re truly grateful for the experience."  John Paul Deleo 

I am pleased to offer this testimonial on behalf of Peter Jacobs, Master Baker.

Recently my company, Skotidakis TM,  was accepted into a major dairy program administered by the Canadian Dairy Commission (the CDC). 

Over the next 3 years this program will prove especially beneficial our company .

In helping us secure our spot in the CDC program, Peter’s assistance and expertise was invaluable. He arranged for independent lab testing of a new and innovative product we had developed. He then used our product for baking in his own test lab. Lastly, he wrote a detailed 36-page report, that we presented before a panel of dairy stakeholders who act as a selection committee for program admission. Ultimately his report proved to be a key part of Skotidakis’ successful admission.

Accordingly, I have no hesitation recommending him.

     "As the largest family owned and operated commercial bakery in Atlantic Canada, we have had the opportunity to have Peter visit our bakeries on numerous occasions. In all cases, we have benefited from his expertise in troubleshooting baking challenges, ingredient issues, production flow and technical support. Peter was instrumental in assisting us with maintaining product quality and consistency as we opened a new commercial bakery in 2020, and transitioned production from a much older facility with older equipment to a new state of the art facility. We consider Peter a key part of our community of resources and he is an invaluable resource to our industry."     Rosalyn & Blair Hyslop

I have had the opportunity to work with Peter Jacobs for over 25 years. On numerous occasions, Peter’s baking expertise was called upon to assist with Le Bon Croissant’s commercial baking operation.  Peter’s baking knowledge and resourcefulness helped with product development, troubleshooting, creating process flows, reducing inefficiencies, sourcing different ingredients, and so much more.    

For example, Peter used his technical data logging knowledge to help improve the quality of our baked goods, identifying hot/cold spots, under/over baking, moisture loss, analyzing timing, etc. 

Peter is a phenomenal individual.  He is kind, reliable, easy to work with, attentive, committed, and passionate about all things baking. 

His wealth of baking knowledge and personality makes him a true master of his craft.

We were facing challenges in maximizing the shelf-life consistency of our products and needed help.  Peter worked openly and efficiently with our team and used his data logger to create a temperature profile of our freezer and products to optimize the process conditions to achieve our desired performance results.

Peter’s 35+ years of industry expertise and deep technical understanding of products and processes make him a valued and trusted resource for our company.  We enjoy working with Peter and would absolutely recommend his services to others.
