By Sheena Adesilu2021-01-15T12:40:00+00:00 Waitrose has rolled out a range of cupcakes and celebration cakes for spring 2021. The array of new treats are designed for afternoon teas and birthdays, featuring classics, like carrot cake, and quirkier delicacies such as a beehive-shaped cake. Part of its food-to-go ordering service, the cakes are made exclusively for Waitrose by Fiona Cairns bakery in Leicestershire. Consumers can find the range in-store or online. The trend for afternoon tea and increase in at-home celebrations is set to continue into 2021, it said. “We saw sales of teatime cakes rise last summer by 95% which led us to develop a new offer of afternoon tea and celebration cakes, reflecting the demand for celebratory food and drink,” said Rosie Hancock, bakery product developer at Waitrose.
