Stacey’s are bringing back an old favourite treat – the ‘Ey up mi duck’ gingerbread duck.
Taking its name from the local greeting, it contains favourite flavours including flapjack, congress tart filling, spices, jam and Stacey’s much-loved gingerbread.
So, where has the little cutie been hiding all these years?
David Stacey, owner of the century-old family bakery, said: “Unfortunately, Covid sent the little gems into hiding. We stopped making them around Christmas 2019, to temporarily make way for traditional festive treats.
“But now the little ducks are getting ready to get back into the swim of things.
“We were constantly asked when they would return. We listen to our customers, and always intended to bring back this favourite as soon as it was possible.
“They are more labour intensive than the other gingerbread items, but they are totally worth it. We’ve now got all of our ducks in a row and are ready to release the ducks again.”
