An Indulgent Treat
DECORATED DOUGHNUTS
The British consumer loves a treat, and what is more of an indulgent treat than a fluffy, topped & decorated doughnut! The classic sweet bakery item has grown in popularity over the years with many chains and independent operators focused solely on this sweet treat.
Current data shows that we’re seeing a strong bearing on occasion-led and convenience-led consumers; meaning that whilst consumers want those elements of premiumisation and indulgence, they are typically more value-conscious and seeking convenient, lower-ticket occasions. The humble doughnuts fits the bill perfectly ticking the box for both consumer missions.
"1 IN 4 EUROPEAN CONSUMERS SAY THAT THEY CONSUME DOUGHNUTS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK"

Three Simple Steps
THAW. DECORATE. SERVE.
Our new doughnuts offer the capability to suit many skillsets and time pressures - with three simple steps, create tasty and on-trend products in under an hour!
Thaw & Serve
After 60minutes of thawing the product they are ready to serve. Use the thaw time to decorate as desired and ready in an hour.
Customisable
Why not link the doughnuts into your seasonal specials from a Summer-inspired design to a haunting Halloween treat – these can also be paired with a seasonal drink boasting the same flavour.
Create your own from classic to contemporary and premium
Be known for your own design – whether that is with a nostalgic flavour combo or decorate to match your brand colours, encourage people to come back for more.
Hits the Indulgence and Instagrammable trend
The first thing your customers will see is the top of your doughnut – add vibrant colours, and top with tempting sweets which will be sure to attract attention in person and when promoted on social media.
Perfect for grab & go
This is a great impulse grab&go item. Positioning within counters and how it is displayed is key for driving those quick convenience occasions with an elevated look which allows a more premium price.
