Leftovers from IBIE
The LloydPans innovation team had a fun time chatting with you at our IBIE booth about all things bakeware, but we had time to check out Dawn Foods’ Global Bakery Trends Report released for the show. In the report, “Technology Transformation” highlighted the fact that the customer eating experience has changed forever, thanks to innovative technology in our field. Dawn Foods predicts that the trend will continue in the years to come, and LloydPans is committed to bringing you the best pan innovation, shipping times and customer service in the industry.

Less Cake is More
One of the biggest baking trends heading into the holiday season is the customer need for personalization. IRI shows that the majority of U.S. households contain one to two people. And, heading out of COVID, sharing a large cake or pie isn’t as sought after as it once was.
“(Consumers) are not going to invest in a full-size sheet cake unless they’re throwing a party and having people over or bringing it to the office, so they’re looking for the smaller size, single-serve options, and that really comes down to the demographics of our nation where you have more one- and two-personal households than we’ve traditionally had in the past,” Eric Richard, industry relations coordinator for the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) told Bake Magazine.
