Dessert Flavour Cables
The pick & mix classic gets a pudding-inspired twist
Dessert Flavour Cables might just be Britain’s most indulgent upgrade to the humble sweet. Picture all your favourite puddings — blackcurrant pie, lemon meringue, rhubarb & custard, apple pie — now imagine them twisted into glossy, colourful fondant cables you can actually pick up by the kilo.
At Monmore Confectionery, the UK’s largest sweet wholesaler, we’ve seen these 1kg coils of nostalgia becoming fast favourites among shopkeepers, party planners, and TikTok treat haulers. Equal parts retro and ridiculous, they’re the sweets you didn’t know you needed — but suddenly can’t stop chewing.
What exactly are Dessert Flavour Cables?
They’re long, soft fondant-filled sweets in bright colours, flavoured like classic British puddings. They’re vegetarian. They’re bendy. They’re borderline absurd. But they work.
Each 1kg mix includes a mouth-watering rotation of:
- Blackcurrant pie – fruity with a jammy twist
- Lemon meringue – tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet
- Rhubarb & custard – a nostalgic zing softened by mellow fondant
- Apple pie – comforting spice with a crisp candy snap
Perfect for:
- 1kg sweet mix shelves
- Mega sweet bags for gifting or party tables
- Sweet cone fillers that make kids (and adults) do a double take
- Gift box sweets for birthdays or hampers
- Rainbow candy mix jars that need more colour and chew
You’ll also find them in our bestselling range of 1kg sweets — loved for their variety, shelf appeal, and chew-to-charm ratio.
Who’s buying them — and why?
Quite frankly, everyone who likes their sweets extra. Dessert Flavour Cables hit that sweet spot between novelty and nostalgia, making them perfect for:
- Retail buyers looking for something bold that sells
- Parents filling birthday sweet bags with fun, vegetarian options
- Online sweet fans who love bold flavours and colourful reels
- TikTok trend hunters filming #fondantpulls and #sweetstretch challenges
- Event caterers building photogenic sweet tubs UK wide
They’re the sweet equivalent of pudding at a street party — familiar, fun, and impossible to ignore.
