Flavours Inspired by Nostalgia
Nostalgic flavours are making a comeback - expect a resurgence of classics like hot cross bun-inspired bakes, chocolate cornflake nests, and carrot cake. Traditional Easter desserts with a modern twist, such as chocolate orange simnel cakes or marshmallow filled pastries are bound to be crowd-pleasers.
Easter-Themed Charcuterie Dessert Boards
Grazing boards aren’t just for cheese anymore! Easter dessert boards filled with cookies, cake pops and macarons are trending for family gatherings and parties. These visually stunning, customisable spreads provide a mix of textures and flavours that appeal to customers looking for a shareable centrepiece.
