Desserts in smaller portions help satisfy sweet cravings without over-indulging on
calories. Rich and trendy flavors such as salted caramel also dip into consumers' demand
for premium, decadent tastes.
Eli's Cheesecake

Rich's Products removed all artificial ingredients from its desserts in an effort to deliver sweet treats shoppers can feel good
about. The discarded ingredients included HFCS and artificial colors and flavors.
The Original Cakerie takes advantage of fruit ingredients for
seasonal items, such as their line of summer cakes that come in flavors including strawberry, peaches and cream, key lime, raspberry,
and three berry. "Fruit is a hot trend because it's a permissible indulgence," Ms. Bitz said. In addition, the company launched a line
of gluten-free layer cakes last year under its Inspired by Happiness
brand, which won a FABI Award from the National Restaurant
Association for its innovation in taste, marketability and creativity.
Pie bakeries have also seen a surge in popularity for fruit pies.
And bakeries can't cut corners with jelly fillings. Consumers expect the real deal, large pieces of fruit, in their fruit pies. "Berry
is huge for us," Mr. Van Iwaarden said of Legendary Baking's pie
sales. The bakery features multiple berry combinations in its pies.
Red, White and Blue is a popular one that Legendary Baking
launched in mid-year 2015.
Rocky Mountain Pies also features a Red, White and Blue pie
made with cherries, apples and blueberries.
Also under the Inspired by Happiness brand, The Original
Cakerie recently released a high-protein indulgent snack that addresses the aftertaste sometimes associated with high-protein
foods. Oats & Honey Chewy Granola Bites are made with honey
and butter, seeds and nuts. Deep Chocolate Brownie Bites feature
butter, chocolate chunks and are topped with dark chocolate. Both
products are gluten-free and deliver 4 to 5 g protein and 3 g fiber,
all without trans fats, GMOs or artificial colors. This new line of
snacks brings together the trends of bite-sized treats, premium and
clean-label ingredients.
That's where indulgent desserts are finding growth today, at the
intersection of mini, premium and clean label.
