6. Frozen & Pastry
The calendar of celebratory events and occasions remains set in stone.
These range from hatches, matches and dispatches to the plethora
of additional gatherings such as graduations and corporate events.
Frozen and especially frozen pastry-based goods will always represent
a popular affordable feature of any special occasion buffet. Aside
from the appetizing look and exceptional flavour of Frank Dale’s baked
pastry goods, the frozen format ensures a reduction in waste without
any compromise on quality.
7. Nostalgia & Familiarity
Frank Dale is aware that many consumers are looking to food for
comfort whether that’s leaning towards familiar favourites that feel
like a warm hug, such as porridge, pies and toast, or harking back to
childhood memories. New launches into the bakery sector this year
have focused on iconic flavours and established formats, tapping
into consumer demand for home comforts. The Frank Dale range has
always centred on the nostalgic taste sensations often seen in care
home, wedding and birthday buffets. A collection of classic flavours –
some with a contemporary update or modern twist – in miniature form.
Designed to please the consumer whilst offering a seamless, simple
solution to the foodservice provider.
8. Twist on Tradition
Frank Dale’s miniatures have always delivered a unique interpretation
of tried and tested flavours, providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy
classic taste experiences in a contemporary guise. From Victoria
sponges to the brand’s take on the traditional Black Forest, or the
British classic Yorkshire Pudding filling with minced beef and creamy
horseradish sauce, a culinary adventure with Frank Dale will appeal to
all.
9. Handheld Desserts
People are keen to try new flavours and snack-sized versions of more
adventurous taste pairings provide a safe way to trial something
different. Street food is having a big moment, and there’s no reason
desserts and cakes shouldn’t join the party so watch out for bite
sized portions of culinary indulgence. Any dessert that can be eaten
out of hand is a good fit for this trend - think Frank Dale’s impressive
collection of miniature cakes and scones which not only stack up on
quality and taste but also enable health-conscious customers to opt
for smaller portion sizes if they are looking to keep a check on calorie
intake.
10. It’s All About Colour
As we veer away from artificial ingredients and overly-processed
foods, there’s a demand for natural colours, but also those that still
pop on the plate. Enter, the new colour palette of bright vibrant hues
that make for eye candy but based on trusted healthy ingredients,
as witnessed in both the striking beetroot and innovative spinach
flavoured shortcrust pastry featured in Frank Dale’s vibrant mini quiche
selection.
