PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY IS ALL GROWN UP

 

Pillsbury Offers New Ultimate Dessert Kits and Ultimate Muffins for Grown Up Tastes

ORRVILLE, OH (December, 2005) – At 40 years old the Pillsbury Doughboy still possesses the delightful giggle and charming personality people have grown to know and love.  Nonetheless, as he has grown up, his tastes have matured and so have some of his latest offerings.  To celebrate the conclusion of his ultimate cross-country 40th Birthday Taste Tour, Pillsbury introduces the ultimate baked goods experience for dessert and breakfast—Pillsbury Ultimate Dessert Kits and Ultimate Muffins.    

Convenient, creative and simple to make, Ultimate Dessert Kits include the cake mix, filling and topping in each box.  Each kit can be prepared in just five minutes from box to oven, creating the perfect dessert to entertain dinner guests, bring to a dessert party or to the next book club gathering, or add something special to the family dinner.

“Kids have enjoyed Pillsbury desserts for generations, but Pillsbury also has desserts that satisfy grown up tastes, too.  We’ve taken the brownies and cakes that people love and combined them with rich fillings and decadent toppings to create the ultimate dessert experience,” said Maribeth Badertscher, communications director, The J.M. Smucker Company.  “For people who like to bake but don’t necessarily have the time, Ultimate Dessert Kits are the perfect solution.”

For mornings, Pillsbury also introduces Ultimate Muffins, the only muffins that bake up with a surprise inside—real fruit or chocolate filling—topped off with a crumb streusel topping. Ultimate Muffins are the perfect way to start the day right, for breakfast at home or on the go.  Make six jumbo or 12 regular-size bakery-style muffins in just six minutes from the box to the oven. Each box includes muffins, filling and streusel.

The ultimate line up of new baked goods includes:
Ultimate Dessert Kits
• Cookies n’ Crème – NEW – Moist and rich chocolate cake with vanilla crème filling, topped with real OREO cookie bits and vanilla crème topping

To celebrate the Pillsbury Doughboy’s birthday this year, The J.M. Smucker Company took the Pillsbury Doughboy on the road to twenty cities for a cross-country 40th Birthday Taste Tour. He lived out birthday wishes on his “40 for 40 list” – a list of 40 things he wanted to do in his 40th year – and spread fun and birthday cheer to families everywhere.  To commemorate the Pillsbury Doughboy’s birthday, The J.M. Smucker Company made a $100,000 dough-nation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
