With Father’s Day fast approaching, bakeries have unveiled new creations including pork pies, cakes, biscuits, and brownies.
We’ve collated some of the limited-edition NPD set to be shared with dads and father figures on 18 June:
Father’s Day Pork Pie, Morrisons
The supermarket chain has rolled out a range of own-label bakery items for the occasion. This includes the Father’s Day Pork Pie (£4), a 450g pie that serves four made with 100% British pork encased in flaky shortcrust pastry and ‘Dad’ in pastry on top.
Putting the ‘perfect twist on Father’s Day brekkie’ is the Big Daddy Breakfast Pizza (two for £5), a 10-inch stone-baked pizza topped with smoked bacon, cocktail sausages, mushrooms, and baked beans.
Sweet bakery delights include the No. 1 Dad Medal Biscuit (99p each), Father’s Day Cupcakes (£1.79 for a two-pack) – comprising vanilla sponge, strawberry sauce filling and vanilla frosting – and the Father’s Day Giant Cookie (£7 each), which is a hand-iced milk chocolate cookie.
Cake Cards, Sponge
Online cake retailer Sponge is offering a few Father’s Day gift ideas to brighten up the day.
The first is Cake Cards, which contain a choice of one or two slices in cake flavours including carrot, coffee, Victoria sponge, red velvet, Millionaires, Speculoos Biscoff, chocolate & caramel, and lemon & blueberry, or flapjack. Delivery boxes are specially designed to fit through a letterbox, and contain a Father’s Day card and personalised message, along with the cake slices.
Alternatively, Sponge has batched up mini versions of its gooey handmade brownies into gift packs of four (£13.25) or eight (£19.95). Flavours include Raspberry & White Chocolate, Chocolate Orange, Triple Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline, with the box including a personalised card and gift wrapping.
There’s also the Father’s Day gift box of four baby sponges with concertina card (£13.95). Choose from traditional, quirky, gluten-free, or vegan cake combinations.
All items are available to order online for UK-wide delivery.
Super Dad Gingerbread, Biscuiteers
‘Is your dad the best dad ever?’ poses Biscuiteers rhetorically while marketing its Father’s Day a range of intricately decorated biscuits complete with illustrated letterbox gift boxes for nationwide mail delivery.
These include the Super Dad Jolly Gingerbread (£7.95), a superhero father figure biscuit who is ‘always ready to save the day with his embarrassing dad jokes’. There’s also the Tee and Biscuits set (£25), four biscuits with golf-related designs, the BBQ set (£25), the Cheese and Wine set (£25), and the Super Dad set (£25 for 10 biscuits).
The iced biscuit specialist, which operates three London outlets as well as onsite icing studios, is also offering larger biscuits tins from £38 with themes including Dad’s big breakfast, British classic cars, and bike race.
Letterbox Millionaire Shortbread, Lottie Shaw’s
The Happy Father’s Day Letterbox Millionaire Shortbread is baked with an all-butter shortbread base, smothered in caramel, topped with Belgian chocolate, and decorated with white chocolate.
Priced at £12.95 per gift box (200g), they are available for free delivery nationwide via online purchase online. Customers can also provide a personalised message to be printed out on a gift card and included in the parcel.
The Brighouse-based bakery also offers its signature Yorkshire parkin, a traditional ginger cake, in a 420g pack for £4.95. Various gift sets include parkin and other sweet treats such as flapjacks, biscuits, tarts, tiffin, and fudge, with prices ranging from £12.95 up to £79 for the Specialty Basket Hamper.
Peanut Brookie, Cake Or Death
Vegan brownie specialist Cake or Death says it has gone ‘extra nutty’ for Father’s Day with its Peanut Brookie NPD.
The recipe combines peanut cookie dough with its signature vegan brownie, swirled with Pip & Nut crunchy peanut butter and topped with toasted peanuts.
Unfortunately, the limited-edition product – priced from £19.50 in boxes of six or ten – has been marked as sold out on the company website due to bakery staff working at an offsite pop up this week.
