Blast from the past
In times of uncertainty we turn to the past for reassurance and inspiration and the nostalgia trend keeps on running well into 2022. Cakes are the perfect way to tap into this trend. Take your customers back to their childhoods with favourites such as cherry bakewell and fondant fancies. Find inspiration in classic sweet shop flavours too, such as sherbert lemon and rhubarb and custard. 26 Eat » ISSUE 7 2021
As plant-based foods become more mainstream, consumer attitudes are shifting. While there’s still demand for plant-based alternatives that mimic meat, more and more consumers will be looking for dishes where vegetables are the heroes. Make veg the stars of your dishes and you’ll not only see a new wave of customers but you’ll notice a difference to your bottom line too.

As people’s awareness of their impact on the environment increases, be prepared for a renewed focus on local and seasonal produce. And showcase the ways in which you play your part as a business in reducing food waste.
