Bells of Lazonby has been making cakes since the year 1946 and the well-established brand worked with Robot Roof to completely refresh its identity and product portfolio with offerings like its new vegan cake bars. The brand is now known as Bells & Whistles and helps to connect consumers to a variety of tasty, free-from treats. The indulgent, plant-based cake slices are packaged just like granola bars, offering a convenient grab-and-go way for people to enjoy a sweet treat on the go.
The individually wrapped vegan cake slices are free from gluten, wheat and milk, and are offered in fun flavors like Berry & Cashew, Ginger & Apricot and Truffle Cake, each of which is richly topped off with colorful, aesthetically pleasing and texture-rich ingredients.
