The doughnut is the company’s third treat launched in just four months, following the launch of the Black Label salted caramel and nut doughnut and the Victoria muffin.
UK – Baker & Baker, a manufacturer of baked goods from Europe, has unveiled a double-filled lemon cheesecake doughnut in the UK.
The doughnut is the second offering under the high-end Black Label brand, and it was introduced to capitalize on the market where buyers are willing to spend more for genuinely quality goods.
The new delight is topped with waves of bright yellow drizzle and white chocolate bits over yoghurt icing, and it is double-filled with the ideal combination of creamy curd and sweet, zesty lemon.

The doughnuts are a limited-edition addition to Baker & Baker’s assortment of confections, and are available through September.
When kept at room temperature, the product should be consumed the same day, however it has a three-day shelf life when refrigerated.
Foodservice and bakery wholesalers can purchase it via the standard channels. To accompany the launch, a variety of marketing materials have been produced, such as a digital toolkit with banners and images.
