Dr Oetker launches new decorating icing tubes

Dr. Oetker, the UK’s leading home baking brand, has launched two new decorating products to add to its extensive range of home baking supplies.

The White and Gold Decorating Icing 50g tubes have been designed to make it much easier for home bakers to add writing and intricate detail to bakes.


With the trend of personalised cakes on the rise, particularly throughout lockdown, home bakers have been creating all manner of scratch bakes for special occasions such as birthdays.

Gold has been a hugely popular baking trend colour for 2020, while the white colour provides bakers with a simple yet effective way to decorate their creations.

Adding that personalised touch is why Dr. Oetker has launched the two new products to give home bakers an advantage when it comes to getting a professional finish with real crowdpleasing results.

Alongside adding personalised writing, bakers can use the Decorating Icing products to add intricate and delicate finishes to cakes and bakes.

Jen Brown, head of marketing, cake & dessert at Dr. Oetker UK, comments: “We understand how important it is to home bakers to add that personalised touch to their cakes, particularly when occasion based. These two new launches offer a new way to add writing or intricate detail to home creations, in a helpful new design that gives a professional finish whatever your ability.

“We went for these two colour options as white is a classic when it comes to cake decoration. The gold taps into this year’s trend for metallics which will be seen across all kinds of home baking decoration.

“We highly recommend using both the white and gold products together for a luxurious, professional finish that people won’t believe was done at home!”

Dr. Oetker Decorating Icing White (50g, MRRP: £1.50) and Dr. Oetker Decorating Icing Gold (50g, MRRP: £1.50) will be available in Waitrose from July and Co-op from August.

Carlsberg shifts marketing focus as drinkers choose cheaper beer

Brewer Carlsberg is shifting some of its marketing focus to cheaper brands, it said on Thursday (31), as consumers in major markets bought cheaper beer and in reduced quantities.

Premium sales fell 0.5 per cent in the quarter."In Western Europe, there's no doubt that the average consumer is holding back," CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen told Reuters.

Consumers value ethics though 'sustainability needs to be competitively priced'

Consumers now want a greater commitment from retailers in cutting food waste, refilling stations, sustainable packaging, and partnering with social purpose organisations, states a recent research, which also highlights that a good majority (69 per cent) of younger consumers are more likely to shop with what they see as socially responsible retailers though price sensitivity still plays a crucial role.

According to the findings, published in Vypr’s Consumer Horizon Report, reducing food waste is the most important factor for the majority of UK consumers (29 per cent), especially for Gen Z women aged 18-24 (38 per cent). More than a third (37 per cent) of men aged 18-24 said they needed food storage advice. A similar number of women aged 18-24 (33 per cent) want meal kits with the exact amount of ingredients included for them to cut down on food waste.
