The Fatherson Bakery Valentine’s products have been announced by the brand for the UK market as a lineup of options for couples to enjoy this Valentine's Day when seeking out a treat to provide to their partner.
The various baked goods come in the form of the fairy cakes, large cupcakes, and the chocolate heart sharing cake, which are priced at £2.50 for six, £4 for two and £5, respectively. Set to arrive in early February, the baked doors will be stocked at Spar, Co-op, Budgens, Nisa, SimplyFresh and Londis locations, as well as hundreds of non-affiliated retailers.
Owner Laurence Smith commented on the new Fatherson Bakery Valentine’s products saying, "All our Valentine cakes and, in fact, everything we bake at Fatherson use only quality, locally sourced British ingredients. Plus, we make in small batches, using fresh ingredients to replicate the same baking practices used in the home kitchen. That’s why with the Valentine Range we can guarantee ‘baking’ freshness for 14 days.”
