A little dessert makes every day sweeter. Or so it seems for grocery patrons.

Cupcakes, cake pops, mini pies and an expanding array of tantalizing single-serve desserts are bringing out the sweet tooth in Canadians. Even the health-conscience crowd can’t resist.

“Single-serve desserts provide indulgence and convenience in one,” says Alan Hiebert, senior education co-ordinator at the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association.

IDDBA’s latest trends report, “What’s In Store 2014,” says sales of single-serve and mini bakery items are rising as fast as muffins in the oven–up a yummy 10% in the last year alone.
