Double Decker Sundaes

Tokyo's Café Est! Est! Serves Ice Cream Topped with Ice Cream Cones

— March 11, 2014 — Lifestyle
Café Est! Est! in Tokyo is definitely not a place to even look at if you’re on a diet. The café takes a pretty extreme approach to its desserts, quite literally, since the diners may be in danger of having perilous sweets topple over onto them, since they are stacked sky-high.

The ice cream sundaes are served with a few more scoops than usual, including several cones that have been stacked on on top of the other. Similarly outrageous desserts from Café Est! Est! include parfaits topped with whole cake slices and the signature 'EST 48,' which is a sundae that towers at about 48 centimetres, or 18 inches high.

If you’ve got a big appetite and are really indecisive about choosing your ice cream toppings, Café Est! Est! is heaven, since you can literally have your cake and eat it too — just stack it on top of a sundae.
Trend Themes
1. Stacked Desserts - Opportunity for bakeries and cafes to create unique desserts that focus on height and stacking capabilities.
2. Excessive Indulgence - Opportunity for restaurants to offer extreme dining experiences with outrageous and larger than life sweets.
3. Customizable Sundaes - Opportunity for ice cream shops to allow customers to stack their own desserts with a variety of toppings and cones.
Industry Implications
1. Bakeries - By creating highly stacked and visually impressive desserts, bakeries can offer something unique to customers that other bakeries may not have.
2. Restaurants - Restaurants can create dining experiences that are larger than life by offering insane dessert creations to their customers.
3. Ice Cream Shops - By allowing customers to customize their sundaes with a variety of toppings and cones to stack, ice cream shops can offer a unique experience that is tailored to each individual customer.
