Why you should buy it:
The value of frozen desserts has rise by 14 per cent in the last five years and according to Martin Ward, brand manager for Country Range, sweet products have benefitted from the recessionary trend towards comfort eating.
"Specifically, frozen cakes experienced a 9 per cent increase in usage to reach 34 per cent between 2007 and 2011, and our summery new Country Range line-up of frozen gateaux has been launched to help caterers tap into this trend.
“They can be served as they come, or enhanced with cream, ice cream or fruit, and make great sharing options, while you can divide them into mini portions for those after just a small taster.”
