Ticklebelly Desserts' Cakebabies Increase In-Store Bakery Sales Power

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Debuting during Fancy Foods’ Winter 2013 Show (Booth #271), Ticklebelly Desserts’ new Cakebabies™ line of innovative, one-bite cake wonders increases in-store bakeries’ sales power by offering a best seller—cake—in an easily portable, individually-sized portion. Available in four flavors—Coconut, Triple Chocolate, Sea Salt Caramel, and Red Velvet—Cakebabies™ are available for order in single-flavor six-packs and typically can be on retailers’ shelves within six weeks. In addition to the new Cakebabies™ line, Ticklebelly also adds four new cake pop and cupcake flavors, expanding its cake pop flavors to include Chocolate Velvet, Strawberry Shortcake, Celebration, and Cookies & Cream, and its cupcake flavors to include Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip Whoopee, PB&J, and Snickerdoodle. Cake pops come in single-flavor four-packs and cupcakes come individually packaged. Orders for Ticklebelly cake pops and cupcakes also typically can be on retailers’ shelves within six weeks.
