Tasty Little Treats

Maybe we really are learning to have smaller portions of what we like - M&S's tasty little treats.

 Mini-eccles cakes, lemon meringues and eton mess

Mini Treats

Costa has caught up with Starbucks in offering bite-sized Little Treats/Mini Tarts - Chocolate cherry, Caramel Hazelnut and Orange & Cranberry - £1.55 with 2 for £2.50 and 3 for £3.25.

Tiny Bite

 'Tiny' cupcakes at Lola's at £1.35 to £1.65 apiece.

Mini Bakes

Konditor & Cook have mini bake Banana Walnut Corks and Passionfruit Meringue Pies for £1.  Not everyone wants large size pastries and it is still a very healthy price. See our 2011 post on Starbucks Petites http://greatcafes.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/mini-cakes.html

Sweet & Petite

The mini/petite pastry at a high price point is becoming more prevalent - perhaps this will be the way we keep the weight off and indulge our sweet tooth.  It will certainly help our food cost.  Konditor & Cook's £1 Mini Tart special offer and Starbucks' £1.55 eat in Petites.
