The baking scene is set to change a lot by 2025. Changes in what we like and new ways of baking are driving this. Social media is making us more creative in our baking, allowing us to show off in fun, informal ways.
People are also changing how they spend their money on baked goods. We now have options from cheap treats to expensive delights. People still love traditional tastes but are excited about mixing flavours too. Plus, there’s a big push towards baking that’s good for our health and the planet. This shows the baking world is heading towards healthier, green choices.
The Sourdough Revolution
The sourdough revolution is showing us a big change in how we bake, as this traditional bread becomes more popular among those who care about their health. It’s made through a unique fermentation process. This not only makes it taste better but also brings health perks. Sourdough is better for people wanting to keep their blood sugar stable and improve digestion, thanks to its lower glycaemic index.
Social media has a huge role in sourdough’s comeback, with lots of posts and discussions about sourdough baking. This shows a keen interest in trying new things with sourdough, not just making bread. Based on recent info from Délifrance, we’re getting creative with sourdough in pastries like croissants, mixing old methods with new flavours.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re still keen on baking in ways that are good for us. The sourdough community is not just about yummy food. It also helps us learn and appreciate fermentation as a craft. We’re all for authentic and nutritious baked foods, and sourdough is leading the way.
Baking Trends 2025: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
Looking ahead to 2025, hybrid baking emerges as an exciting trend. It mixes traditional recipes with modern techniques. This allows us to try new flavors that are both surprising and delightful. We see bakers combining classic items, like muffins and croissants, to create new treats such as cruffins. These blend the best of both worlds.
This trend shows people want something both familiar and unique. Old flavours are returning with a twist. Imagine a classic sponge cake with exotic spices or a tart with new creams and fillings. These not only remind us of good times but also look great on social media.
Take brionuts for example, a mix of brioche and donut, showing the creative side of baking today. These unique bakes give us the chance to show off visually appealing treats. By mixing tradition with innovation, we’re shaping the future of baking in amazing ways.

In focusing on healthy baking, we create treats that are both tasty and good for you. These treats allow for indulgence without the guilt. We aim to blend great taste with health in every bite.
Plant-Based and Vegan Baking Initiatives
Plant-based baking is growing, driven by health and environment concerns. People now want options that are good for them and the planet. Social media is full of vegan recipes that show how tasty and creative plant-based baking can be.
Using plant-based ingredients helps animals and encourages new ideas in baking. More and more brands are trying unique flavours and better nutrition. Everyone is now focusing on using eco-friendly ingredients.
Some key trends we observe in this realm include:
- Use of alternative flours like almond, coconut, and chickpea to make baked goods healthier.
- Using plant-based sweeteners to cut down on refined sugars.
- Adding fruits and veggies to improve taste and health benefits.
- Choosing sustainable packaging to lessen environmental harm.
