In 2019, we saw retro desserts make a comeback (holy sheet cake!), plus twists on old favourites (think pain au hot chocolat and Vegemite macarons). We enjoyed savoury additions, from pink peppercorn pastry to ras el hanout ice-cream, and dessert sambos in every form. We also benefited from less sugar, dairy, colourings and preservatives generally, with natural flavourings like matcha and tahini still ruling.
While some of these trends will roll into the new year, with a few set to really hit their stride, we ponder: what will the wonderful world of desserts look like in 2020?
