One trend that is gaining popularity is the resurgence of Victorian-style cakes.

With the increasing awareness and concern for health and the environment, people are shifting towards more plant-based diets and organic food options. This has led to the rise of vegan bakeries, which offer a range of delicious treats that are free from animal products and often use healthier, natural sweeteners.
Sourdough has also been gaining popularity in recent years, as people rediscover the benefits of traditional bread-making methods. This type of bread is made from a natural yeast culture, which gives it a unique flavour and texture. It's also easier to digest than regular bread, making it a great option for those with sensitive stomachs.
Overall, the bakery industry is constantly evolving to meet the changing tastes and preferences of consumers. Whether it's bold and colourful cakes or wholesome and nourishing bread, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
