The Cutter & Squidge x Miffy Collection has been developed through a collaboration between the bakery and the cartoon character to offer fans a delicious and delightful lineup of treats to try.
The partnership consists of Cutter & Squidge creating a number of bakery items that are each inspired by the likeness of the Miffy character. The partnership will also see the bakery brand offering Miffy's Afternoon Tea at its bakery in Soho in London, which is all themed around the character, will be on offer through August 31, 2026 and is priced at £45 per person.
The Cutter & Squidge x Miffy Collection plays to the popularity of co-branded bakery items, particularly with legacy brands and figures. The range consists of freshly prepared items alongside merch like notebooks and plush toys.
