Dawn Foods Black Forest Frosting has been launched by the brand in the UK and Ireland as a retro-inspired baking product for elevating a range of desserts with some nostalgic flavor.
The frosting is positioned by the brand towards retro hybrid sweet bakes and will call to mind the classic 1970s dinner party dessert. The frosting thus has a rich chocolate base flavor infused with the taste of brandy-infused black cherries for a dark taste with just a touch of light fruitiness.
Marketing Lead West EU & AMEAP Jacqui Passmore spoke on the Dawn Foods Black Forest Frosting saying, "Bakers can tune into the trend for format and flavour ‘mash ups’ by using limited edition ingredients. Using a Black Forest Frosting instantly transforms a plain cupcake into a premium ’70s revival themed bake with instant sales potential."
