Our last (but certainly not least!) item we will be showcasing at the Vegan Veg Out Bake Off is our Chocolate, Almond Praline Mousse Cake.

White and dark chocolate mousse with a house made almond praline centre and dipped in a crunchy dark chocolate coating. Vegan and gluten free. It tastes like the almond magnum of your dreams which is why we’ve chosen it as our showstopper! 🎉

Be sure to get down to The Vegan Veg Out Bake Off this Sunday 7th June to try for yourself!

Q: Hi Brett! Can you tell us about your role at Gingersnap?

Brett: I’m a co-owner of Gingersnap and a Pastry Chef/Baker. My favourite part of my job is developing new and exciting recipes for our customers to try. Receiving wonderful feedback from customers about our new desserts has encouraged me to develop more recipes.

Q: How long have you been a Pastry Chef?

Brett: I started my apprenticeship in 2018 to become a pastry chef so I’ve been working in pastry kitchens for almost eight years.

Q: Do you prefer to sign or speak?

Brett: I was taught to speak in schools/hospitality and casual encounters. As I have gotten older, I have become more comfortable using sign language as I don’t get as exhausted listening to others in noisy environments.

Q: What’s something you wish people understood about deafness?

Brett: Just because I’m deaf doesn’t mean that I can’t perform the same skills/tasks that a hearing person does and it has not limited my career.

Wearing hearing aids/cochlear implant doesn’t mean I can hear as well as a hearing person. I can only hear about 5-10% of what a hearing person does depending on where I am. Ideally I prefer to have a face-to-face conversations in a quiet or outdoor area.

Thanks Brett!

A few tips on how to make your workplace more inclusive for a deaf/hard of hearing staff member. As mentioned in the first slide, always ask what the person’s specific needs and accomodations are first but these are some simple accomodations we have put in place for Brett that we thought might be helpful to share!
