Brits love desserts and cakes, from sticky toffee pudding to tiramisu, and dessert experts at Jackandbeyond.com have revealed the top sweet treats.

The survey, which asked 1,788 UK consumers what their preferences are, showed the nation’s favourite desserts and cakes are the famous sticky toffee pudding, mouth- watering profiteroles, the classy but sassy red velvet and the spot-hitting tiramisu.

When it comes to the second level of favourites, the top tier desserts include the quintessential British Victoria Sponge, brownies, bakewell tart, and the not-so British but much-loved eclairs.

Rated 'good' was cheesecake, marble cake, Madeira cake, and Swiss roll, followed by chocolate mousse, bread & butter pudding, artic roll and apple crumble.

Next up came treacle tart, Eton mess, spotted dick, egg custard tarts.

At the other end of the table, is fruit cake, angel cake, and mince pies, followed by Christmas pudding.

Brits placed rice pudding, carrot cake, banoffee pie and the English trifle in the bland category.

The discounter – which is currently the sixth largest grocer in the UK by market share [Statista] – recently overtook Tesco to secure the biggest slice of in-store bakery (ISB). Data from Kantar showed that Lidl, which was crowned  Bakery Retailer of the Year  at the 2023 Baking Industry Awards, had pipped the UK’s largest supermarket  with 18.2% of the ISB market compared to Tesco’s 18%.
