Cake sales drops to 25%: Bakery owners
Colombo, Dec.30 (Daily Mirror) - Cake sales in the local market have dropped to 25% during the festive season due to a lack of eggs for making cakes, the All Ceylon Bakery Owners' Association (ACBOA) said.
The association's chairman, N.K. Jayawardana, told the Daily Mirror that though they had hoped for at least 50 percent of the usual sale of cakes it had dropped to 25 percent.
"We did not receive the eggs on time to make cakes. The eggs imported from India are still at the yards safe and sound, but none of the eggs were distributed in the local market," he said.
Therefore, the cake business was not successful during this festive season, he said.
