“Premium cakes are becoming even more popular as an affordable ‘everyday’ luxury.

“Our Thaw & Serve Coffee Time Treats are a must-stock for retailers looking to list fresh-baked products.

“The muffins and cookies are delivered frozen and thawed at room temperature.

“Doughnuts are continuing to grow in popularity at a rate of 6% year on year and appeal to all ages, and genders and are purchased throughout the day.
