Sunfeast Caker is expected to help scale up the category and address the needs of convenience and indulgence across a wider consumer base.

This triple layered cake has a choco enrobed bottom, choco crème as the middle filling and is topped with a choco drizzle. The second format will be a reimagined choco Swiss Roll, adorned with a choco drizzle, and the third will be Layer Cakes in two variants including Choco & Butterscotch.
The premium quality offerings will be made available to consumers at parity industry price points and grammage to ensure the category is enjoyed in every household. 28 gms SKU of Trinity and 29 gms SKU of Swiss Roll will be available at Rs. 10 while the Layer Cakes will be available at two price points of Rs. 5 & Rs. 10 respectively. Sunfeast Caker will be available pan-India from November 2020.
Ali Harris Shere, Chief Operating Officer, Biscuits & Cakes Cluster, Foods Division, ITC Limited said, “The cakes category in India has been growing at a very promising pace. Given that it is a large category and with our experienced play in the biscuits segment, we believe it is the right time to expand our franchise.”
Ali Harris Shere said, “Our focus would be to drive further growth of the category by re-defining the way consumers view and consume packaged cakes. The endeavour would be to bridge the experiential gap between fresh bakery cakes and packaged cakes through our unique offerings. As a national trusted brand, we look forward to delighting households across the country with this specially crafted new range of Sunfeast Caker.”
