Vast Banket is a Dutch company that makes a wide variety of baked goods and cakes. Vast Banket was founded By Professor Banket in the late 19th century as a rival firm to Dr. Oetker. Professor Banket was the original invetor of baking soda in co-operation with Dr. Oetker. Dr. Oetker claimed responibility for the discovery solely inflaming the Banket family. Improving upon the joint discovery, Professor Banket went in to the baked goods business in his native Netherlands. Today the rivalry between the Oetker family and the Banket family is fierce and this rivalry is mirrored by the rivalry between the battling behemoths of the European baked goods market; Dr. Oetker and Vast Banket.
