  • The Cadbury Cakes range has also undergone a packaging refresh bringing it in line with the confectionary range 

Premier Foods is extending its festive cake range with delicious seasonal additions from its Mr Kipling and Cadbury brands. The new products will be joining the line-up of much-loved SKUs to help retailers capitalise throughout the Christmas period. The variety of flavours and formats make it the ideal selection for friends and family of all ages.

Mr Kipling will be launching a Mini Mince Pie Selection pack to add more variety to the line-up. The pack features nine mini mince pies, containing three each of; Mr Kipling Deep Filled Mince Pies, Iced Topped Mince Pies and, a new addition especially for the selection pack, Frangipane Mince Pies. The Mini Mince Pie Selection presents the perfect option for sharing at parties, sitting alongside the 12-pack variety box from Mr Kipling and the traditional products, which are perfectly suited as afternoon snacks and to serve on the big day itself.

Following the success of the Stem Ginger Slices and Candy Cane Slices in 2018, Mr Kipling is bringing both products back with the addition of Mince Pie Flavour Slices and Reindeer Slices. The Mr Kipling Mince Pie Flavour Slices transform the delicious tastes of the classic mince pie, a Christmas favourite, into an easy-to-eat slice format while the Reindeer Slices provide a delicious combination of chocolate & caramel flavours.

In addition to the new Slices SKUs, Mr Kipling is launching two new small cakes that deliver strong festive flavours, Chocolate Orange Whirls and Irish Crème Fancies. Chocolate Orange Whirls bring a festive favourite into a new format, whilst Irish Crème Fancies look to drive penetration amongst new shoppers, and give adults the perfect Christmas treat.

Cadbury is introducing two new Mini Roll flavours – Caramel and Orange – with seasonal packaging to drive excitement over Christmas. Having been the most popular flavours during testing, the products are set to drive penetration and bring incremental growth to the category. Premier Foods is also launching festive Cadbury Caramel Cakes, capitalising on the popularity of Cadbury Caramel – which is worth £60m RSV – using a popular format and helping to increase retailers’ sales at Christmas further.

Chocolate is a leading flavour over the Christmas period, and the new Cadbury cake products sit alongside returning favourites to cater to a wide range of occasions and needs. The returning range has undergone a packaging refresh in line with the confectionary redesign to maximise the brand standout in store.

Mathew Bird, Brand Director for Sweet Treats at Premier Foods, comments: “With our new additions to the festive line-up, there’s something for everyone, regardless of whether they prefer chocolate, mince pies or something a little different. With large cakes and multipacks for sharing at social occasions, and smaller, individually wrapped formats for on-the-go consumption, our festive cakes let people treat themselves and their loved ones across the Christmas period.”

Both the Mr Kipling and Cadbury ranges are in store now. The Mr Kipling products will be supported by a reprise of its TV advert, which will profile the Deep Filled Mince Pies in the closing shot. Meanwhile the product packaging will feature more gold hues to enhance the Christmas feel on-pack and give the range more consistency in store.
