“Families are seeking more in-home experiences and activities, and baking is a great outlet. A recent Instagram poll revealed that 97 percent of the more than 1,000 respondents shared that they’ve been baking more during quarantine, and 98 percent said they will keep baking after quarantine,*, said Amanda Burlison, Senior Brand Manager of Betty Crocker. “We’re glad that consumers are re-discovering a love for baking during these strange times. Our spring baking kits offer unique opportunities to find joy, connect with those you love and share sweet moments together.”
