Everyone is focused regarding healthy body and mind especially in the era of pandemic. Dessert craving was always there but the trend of having dessert has changed in modern days. Over the last five years, industry players have reformulated many frozen cakes and pastry products with more nutritious, higher-quality ingredients to appeal to health-conscious consumers. More natural and organic products also appeared in the baking aisle, including baking mixes and jarred frosting made without artificial flavours or preservatives.
