🗞️ QUICK FOOD NEWS

BETA5 Chocolates is ending its beloved cream puff production after 12 years, refocusing solely on chocolate. Known for innovative flavours and stunning presentations, the announcement has left fans SHOCKED.

A farewell multi-week event, the Cream Puff Anthology, will celebrate this sweet tradition before its final closure on November 23, 2024. Every week they’ll be bringing back some favourite flavours before the cream puffs halt.

What This Means: This shift reflects BETA5's confidence in its chocolate brand and is willing to cull their most popular and notable line of items, even though the key ingredient - cocoa - is soaring to record highs.
