SnackFutures Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Mondelēz International, acquired a minority stake in Urban Legend, a UK pastry bakery start-up specializing in better-for-you fresh donuts and pastries.
Baker & Baker launched a new Halloween doughnut in the UK. It is the third limited edition doughnut this year, and it aims to drive autumn sales. The ‘spooky’ Halloween doughnut is a ring doughnut filled with a rich cocoa cream, covered with orange flavored icing, and topped with Halloween-themed sugar decorations.
It’s donuts’ time on the European market. It is a landscape that has been advancing over the past decades and it’s going up by leaps and bounds today.
Each process stage, from mixing to creating the dough band and donut shapes, through to baking, contributes to their final quality.
Baker & Baker reported a turnover of EUR 450 m and 14% growth in its first year as a standalone business.
Sourdough is established as a growing, enduring trend. It is successfully transitioning from its staple applications in bread to innovation in other product ranges, savory and sweet.
The plant-based trend is growing from a flavor-of-the-moment favorite into a sustainable, long-term trend. Opportunities in baking are ripe for the picking, as long as technical formulation challenges are weeded out.
Manufacturing donuts with less fat and sugar is a must. However, this is just the starting point as unusual shapes, new flavor experiences, creative textures and hybrid formulations are on the rise.
Depending on the size and desired capacity of the operation, there are several systems that best support the environment and production needs.
Deep-fried biscuits have long since ceased to be a seasonal product, as – freshly prepared – they are a customer magnet.
