The Cadbury Caramel Celebration Cake has been announced by Premier Foods in the UK as the latest addition to its cake portfolio that's crafted with the namesake chocolate brand's signature tastes and textures in mind.
The cake starts off with a chocolate-flavored sponge cake that's layers with a smooth caramel-flavored creme and caramel sauce before being decorated by hand using milk chocolate curls, chocolate chunks and caramel pieces. The cake is thus perfect for special occasions and responds to consumer demand for caramel-flavored cakes, which are seeing an increase in popularity.
Global Marketing Director of Sweet Treats at Premier Foods Naomi Shooman spoke on the Cadbury Caramel Celebration Cake saying, "The introduction of our latest Cadbury Cakes innovation will delight shoppers and drive retailers' sales by offering truly differentiated choice under the Cadbury Caramel sub-brand."
