Yorkshire Baking Co has unveiled its freshly baked new look ahead of Yorkshire Day (the 1st of August for the uninitiated), aiming to both strengthen its presence and support the planned next phase of the cake brand’s growth.
Rolling out across the ever-popular MEGA Loaf Cake range, the refreshed packaging celebrates Yorkshire Baking Co’s heritage while creating a stronger, more contemporary presence on the shelf.
The brand new design features an illustrated landscape, a prominent “Yorkshire’s Finest Cakes” seal of approval and the new brand strap line “Good Honest Cake,” reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality baking which it hopes will appeal strongly to shoppers nationwide.
The re-brand has also been extended to one of Yorkshire Baking Co’s most loved other varieties, Yorkshire Parkin, with a distinctive identity across the MEGA Loaf Cake, cakes slices and smaller formats. Heritage-inspired colours and messaging, including “Rooted in Tradition” are intended to inspire cake lovers to try one of Yorkshire’s finest delicacies.
The new look MEGA Loaf Cake range comprises of Classic Madeira, Lemon Crunch, Double Choc Chunk, Deliciously Cherry, Juicy Sultana, Jam & Coconut, Sticky Toffee and Yorkshire Parkin – with a promised array of new product development on the horizon to further drive brand appeal going forwards.
The new packaging has been developed to both providing greater shelf impact in the immediate term, while also creating a flexible platform for future product development, seasonal launches and collaborative brand partnerships.
Arainn Cleland, sales director at Yorkshire Baking Co, said: “This is an important milestone for Yorkshire Baking Co as we continue to invest in our much-loved and rapidly growing cake brand. Our new identity reflects our heritage, our values and delivers quality consumers expect from our products, ultimately appealing strongly to all shoppers seeking “good honest cake’’
“Our MEGA Loaf Cakes are already a firm favourite with shoppers nationwide, and we are confident that our fresh new look will strengthen engagement with existing consumers, attract new shoppers to the brand and create further opportunities for growth with our retail partners.”
