Cake Decoration

In The Group’s Cake Decoration division comprises Renshaw in the UK, USA and Europe and Rainbow Dust Colours.

The love of home baking in the UK continues, fuelled by the continuing success of TV programmes such as The Great British Bake Off, the final of which in the autumn of 2017 was watched by a live audience of some 7.2 million people. Nine out of ten consumers shop in the home baking market, a market which is currently worth some £705 million at retail selling price, (according to Kantar, the research, data and insight consultancy).

Within that, cake decorating continues to grow and the visual appeal of the end product is fuelled by the ever-increasing use of social media. Renshaw’s product development capability recognises and aims to satisfy the growing need that the home baker has to create more ambitious and visually appealing cakes, not least by designing products that make the creative process as easy as possible.
