The Stuff of Legends from Sponge Sixteen years ago, Sponge began with a simple idea: to bake cakes that bring people together. Since then, over 1.2 million have shared a Sponge moment: birthday surprises, wedding tables, rainy day pick-me-ups, and slices sent with love across the miles. Today, Sponge has brightened things up with a fresh new look, but the heart of what they do hasn’t changed. And what better way to mark the moment than with the return of their beloved Legends Brownies - gooey, fudgy favourites, now back for good in both standard and gluten-free. |
