The Rise of Edible Marketing: Why Brands Are Turning to Branded Biscuits to Make a Lasting Impression

In a world where consumers are bombarded with ads, emails, and digital noise, brands are constantly searching for more creative and meaningful ways to stand out. Traditional promotional materials—brochures, flyers, and corporate giveaways—often get discarded, blending into the sea of forgettable marketing.

But what if your brand could be seen, remembered, and savoured all in one moment? Some of the most well-known brands like Claridge's, Ralph Lauren & Ugg already know how well this marketing technique is working and we have helped to create some incredible brand moments.

Welcome to the power of edible marketing—a growing trend that’s reshaping brand engagement. From branded biscuits to fully customised edible campaigns, businesses are tapping into the sensory power of taste to create memorable, high-impact marketing moments.

At Molly’s Bakehouse, we’ve seen first-hand how luxury, hand-iced biscuits are transforming the way companies connect with their audience. Whether it’s a product launch, corporate event, influencer campaign, or client gifting, branded biscuits are providing businesses with a deliciously unique way to leave a lasting impression.

Why Edible Marketing Works in Today’s Climate

The shift towards edible marketing isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a response to the changing consumer landscape. Brands are now competing for attention in an oversaturated market, where engagement and memorability are more valuable than ever.

Here’s why edible marketing is making such an impact:

1. Sensory Marketing Creates Stronger Brand Recall

Consumers remember experiences more than they remember ads. The key reason? Multi-sensory engagement.

When someone sees, touches, and tastes your branded biscuits, they are physically interacting with your brand. Unlike digital or print marketing, which is purely visual, edible marketing activates multiple senses, creating a much stronger emotional connection to your brand.

Stat to consider...

Studies show that people retain 65% of information when multiple senses are engaged, compared to just 10% from text alone.

2. Edible Marketing Feels Personal & Thoughtful

In the current climate, consumers and businesses alike are prioritising meaningful connections. Generic branded items like pens or tote bags are functional, but they don’t evoke the same emotional response as something handcrafted and personalised.

With branded biscuits, companies are able to communicate thoughtfulness and exclusivity—whether it’s a hand-iced logo biscuit, a luxury gift box for VIP clients, or an edible place setting at an event.

💡 Example: Instead of handing out business cards at an event, some brands are now giving away branded biscuits with their logo and a QR code—a unique touchpoint that instantly creates a memorable interaction.

3. Shareability & Social Media Buzz

Consumers are constantly looking for content-worthy moments—and a well-designed, beautifully iced biscuit is Instagram gold.

Brands that invest in edible marketing aren’t just creating a tangible experience; they’re also unlocking digital engagement. Branded biscuits encourage user-generated content, giving brands free exposure through social shares, influencer posts, and word-of-mouth marketing.

Real-world impact of edible marketing:

• Event attendees posting beautifully designed biscuits featuring a company’s logo or campaign slogan.

• Influencers unboxing luxury branded biscuit gift sets and sharing them with thousands of followers.

• Clients sharing a thoughtful edible gift from a company on LinkedIn, enhancing B2B brand reputation.

A branded biscuit isn’t just a gift—it’s an opportunity to create organic, authentic marketing exposure.
