These new Café Valley cupcakes are being launched by the brand through a partnership with Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) that will provide avid baked good enthusiasts and soda drinkers alike with the perfect new treat to try out.
The cupcakes come in 7UP and Crush Orange Soda flavors, which are each inspired by their namesake soda to make them instantly recognizable amongst consumers. The cupcakes feature the sodas' distinct branding and coloring to boot, which will further increase their ability to surprise and delight consumers of all ages. The 12-count mini cupcake packs are rolling out now to retailers in the US.
Chief Executive Officer Brian Owens spoke on the new Café Valley cupcakes saying, "Since their debut in the spring of 2023, Café Valley's line of mini cupcakes has seen remarkable success, reflecting the excitement for bite-sized, sweet treats. With a strong partnership already established with Keurig Dr Pepper, introducing mini cupcakes is a joyful addition to our existing soda-flavored baked goods."
