“We know that cakes linked to top TV shows and films will always be popular, but we’re constantly looking for new opportunities to develop products that haven’t been seen before in the licensed cake market – like our new Hey Duggee cake, Frozen 2 Cake and Frozen traybake. We bring the top-tier characters and franchises to life in the celebration cake world for children of all ages, as well as catering to the tastes and trends of adults with the Thorntons, Mary Berry and Diageo ranges.”
