Spring is just around the corner, and it is time to start putting some thought into your spring bakery menu. Most of the same trends come to bakeries every spring, so you might be wondering what you can do differently to stand out. Here are a few ideas for your bakery this spring.

Bright Colors

Spring is a season that is full of color and vibrancy. Bringing that color to your menu can be a real attention grabber for your customer base. Dull and dusty colors can be left behind for brighter pastels. You can accomplish this with both sweet and savory bakery items.

Vibrant Flavors

Bright and fun flavors will be top sellers this spring. Lots of spring fruit flavors (that also bring beautiful colors) will sell well. While this isn’t any different than other spring and summer seasons, the flavor combinations you can make are endless and will help you stand out. Some of the best spring flavors to use are:

• Kiwi
• Strawberries
• Rhubarb
• Mango
• Kumquat
• Citrus

Herb And Floral Infused Pastries

Flowers are pretty to look at, but did you know that you can bake with them too? Sweet or savory, flowers can bring a lot of unique flavor and design to your bakery menu. Flowers like lavender, magnolia, lemon balm, elderflowers, chamomile, marigolds, and chicory blossoms are good choices. These items can be used in baked goods or as edible decorations instead of fake flowers. The incredible possibilities of designs and flavors you can make with florals and herbs like mint, rosemary, oregano, dill, basil, and sage are endless. These enticing bakery items will help increase your bakery’s revenue.

Healthy Items

It can be hard to find healthy baked goods that actually taste good. For this reason, if you become a trusted provider of healthy baked goods, you will have customers for life. A few of the health concerns that customers might look for are:

• Vegan
• Dairy-free
• Gluten-free
• Keto/Low carb
• Sugar-free
• High protein
