Launch of Branca de Neve Cake Mixes

In addition to its unquestionable quality, the development of each product took into account the preferred cakes by the Portuguese people, flavours recorded from childhood in their memory.
First cookbook

From a recipe contest, which allowed Branca de Neve to know its consumers and create the first database, came the idea to compile the best selected recipes and edit a book: “O Bolo das Quartas-feiras” (Wednesday Cake). The choice of name was due to the National Television weekly movie night that gathered families around the television and invited to a sweet treat in the comercial break.
The book was one of the greatest runs of cookbooks in Portugal, about 50 000 copies.
It's always a party!
In 1985 it was released in the Portuguese television an advertisement spot that reinforced the claim in use by the brand at the time: "It's always a party!". Since special moments are celebrated with cake.
In this way, Branca de Neve is present in the most important landmarks in the lives of the Portuguese people.
