In 2007, Sutherland became the newest Flake Girl when Cadbury revived its iconic TV advertisements after a five-year hiatus. The advertisement shows her, in reverse time, eating a Flake bar in a convertible during a rain shower.{{cite news|title=Cadbury brings back Flake Girl|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/feb/09/marketingandpr.advertising|access-date=12 June 2015|work=The Guardian|date=10 February 2007}} She is one of several former Cadbury advert actors to speak out in favour of the "Keep Cadbury British" campaign in opposition to the sale of Cadbury to a non-British owner.

Since transitioning away from modeling, Sutherland has expressed guilt about having contributed to the "unrealistic standards" of beauty set by the fashion-industry and has been critical of its "strict" and damaging size-requirements.{{cite news|title=Interview - Alyssa Sutherland|url=https://schonmagazine.com/interview-alyssa-sutherland|access-date=25 August 2022|work=Schön!|date=11 July 2017}}
