Our business
Our product development team is constantly looking for ways to innovate and delight both our retail customers and their end consumers. For example, we brought a unique cheesecake “bar” format to the market, making cheesecakes easier and more convenient to eat. Another of our recent offerings is the sunken cheesecake. We will continue to develop our cakes and desserts ranges with further exciting innovations.
