The Finsbury Little Big Cake bento boxes have been announced as a new addition to the category that's crafted with convenience and cost savings in mind to work well for savvy shoppers. The cake-only bento box is a first for the UK market and consists of one large cake with enough for eight servings alongside four mini cupcakes, all priced at £14 with a weight of 740-grams. The range is launching with the Paint the Town Red Velvet cake flavor and is expected to be a hit amongst shoppers with a penchant for artisanal baked goods.
Brand Manager Kimberly Curtis commented on the Finsbury Little Big Cake bento boxes saying, "Little Big Cake is all about spreading joy, it started with a simple thought: a little cake can make a big moment. We’ve seen a rise in smaller occasion moments among consumers, and we wanted to create a cake that was perfect for this. Whether that’s a well done, a Happy Birthday, a girls’ night in or even a ‘just because’ to brighten an ordinary day.”
