Whole Foods Responds to Rumors of Berry Chantilly Cake Being Discontinued
Rumors of Discontinuation Caused Panic Among Fans
Passionate fans of a beloved dessert offered at Whole Foods Market were given a scare earlier this week due to online rumors of the chain discontinuing its Berry Chantilly Cake.
No Discontinuation, According to Whole Foods
Rest assured, the sweet treat won’t be going anywhere, according to a spokesperson for the company.
Berry Chantilly Cake Remains Available
“Previously, our Berry Chantilly by-the-slice cake program varied by store location. We recently aligned the flavor profile, size, packaging, and price so customers will have the same high-quality experience in each of our stores – a delicious cake slice with fresh fruit, berry compote, cream cheese mascarpone, and fluffy vanilla cake layers,” a statement from Whole Foods Market said.
Cake and Slices Will Remain Available
The chain said that both whole cakes and Berry Chantilly single slices will remain available in stores, though there may be slight differences – such as the placement of berries in the cake.
Changes to Slice Size and Berry Placement
As the slice size increased in height for most stores, berries have been placed on the side for single slices. The solution has been used by many stores to help keep the fragile cake slices intact.
Year-Round Availability with Seasonal Variations
According to the chain, the slice size was increased in most stores and is now consistent across locations. The Berry Chantilly cakes are available year-round, with seasonal variations such as Mango Yuzu Chantilly in the spring and Figgy Foggy Chantilly cake with fig jam and earl grey frosting in the fall.
The History of Berry Chantilly Cake
The Berry Chantilly cake first debuted at a Whole Foods store approximately 20 years ago at the Arabella Station store in New Orleans, with a recipe developed by a team member that is still used today. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, some team members relocated to Houston and brought the recipe with them, leading to its adoption in stores across Louisiana and eventually nationwide.
Conclusion
There is no need to panic, Berry Chantilly cake fans! Whole Foods has confirmed that the cake will remain available in stores, with slight changes to the slice size and berry placement. The cake is available year-round, with seasonal variations to keep things fresh and exciting.
