Dessert Holdings, a North American dessert company, is returning to the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) show in New Orleans, June 1-3.  At the industry-exclusive event, Dessert Holdings will showcase its range of desserts, including a new suite of artisanal products.

Reportedly known for its use of clean ingredients, scratch-made recipes, and thaw and serve format, Dessert Holdings encompasses six brands: Steven Charles, The Original Cakerie, Lawler’s Foods, Dianne’s Fine Desserts, Atlanta Cheesecake Company, and Kenny’s Great Pies. Dessert Holdings operates nine automated, geographically diverse manufacturing facilities across North America. 

“Over the last decade, Dessert Holdings has become the largest and fastest growing premium dessert platform in the U.S., and we have positioned ourselves as a ‘one-stop shop’ for retail and foodservice customers,” says Paul Lapadat, CEO of Dessert Holdings. “Our intentional presence at IDDBA allows us to showcase our brands and our expanded innovative product portfolio of premium desserts.” 

The Dessert Holdings’ booth (4625) at IDDBA invites customers to experience the Dessert Holdings “Bakery,” featuring a central culinary island with dessert sampling and opportunities to meet Dessert Holdings pastry chefs. New product offerings to be unveiled at the show will include Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake and Mango Passion Fruit Cheesecake from the Dianne’s brand, as well as multi-layer bar cakes from The Original Cakerie, including a Mixed Berry Custard, Chantilly Cake, and Key Lime Cake, along with several other individual desserts. 

“We continue to broaden our portfolio of premium desserts made with real ingredients that also cater to consumer demands including portion control, snacking, and gluten-free,” says Susanne Ross, SVP, culinary, research and development. 

Dessert Holdings will also showcase a refreshed company logo featuring a new whisk-infused letter “D” standing tall within the new brand identity, signaling a tribute to the company’s pastry-chef-led culinary heritage, and a nod to the layers in its signature Strawberry Shortcake product that helped establish the multi-layer bar cake category. The updated brand, featuring new stylized typography and a rich color palette, reflects the same freshness and innovation that defines Dessert Holdings’ products, the brand says. The updated brand elements will be integrated across the company’s website, social channels, and tradeshow booth.
