Bakery products have always been a staple in the Asia Pacific region for breakfast and snacking occasions, but the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the sector’s growth significantly in the past year, primarily driven by the home-baking, flavour innovation and healthier eating trends.

But if you accept that they have more in common with a $50 cake from a high-end bakery than they do with an industrially produced mix that contains “propylene glycol mono and diesters of fatty acids,” then they’re actually a pretty great deal.
