Waffle Stick Makers

The FTW200 2-in-1 Breakfast Treats Maker Creates Casual Desserts

— July 3, 2014 — Art & Design
Those who consider French toast and waffles more like desserts will appreciate the FTW200 2-in-1 Breakfast Treats Maker. Instead of making full waffles and French toast, it slices them up so that they can be served in smaller portions and even on sticks. As though inspired by the cake pops that took over the baking industry a few months ago, this machine satisfies very specific cravings in a creative way.

Created by Nostalgia Electronics, the FTW200 2-in-1 Breakfast Treats Maker comes with interchangeable plates so that it can accommodate both sliced bread and batter mixes. Included in the kit are 25 sticks that will encourage people to display them nicely for family and friends instead of gobbling them down in one go. Affordable, the FTW200 2-in-1 Breakfast Treats Maker is priced at $32.
Trend Themes
1. Miniature Dessert Trend - The rise of smaller portions and treats served on sticks opens up opportunities for innovative mini-dessert creations.
2. Creative Food Presentation - The use of sticks to present sliced waffles and French toast in a unique way offers opportunities for visually appealing and Instagram-worthy food presentations.
3. Versatile Breakfast Appliances - The development of multi-purpose breakfast appliances like the FTW200 2-in-1 Breakfast Treats Maker indicates a trend towards more versatile and user-friendly kitchen gadgets.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - The home appliance industry can explore the production of more versatile kitchen gadgets that cater to consumers' desire for creative and convenient breakfast options.
2. Food and Beverage - Restaurants, cafes, and food manufacturers can capitalize on the miniature dessert trend by offering bite-sized versions of popular breakfast treats on sticks.
3. Event Planning and Catering - Event planners and caterers can leverage the creative food presentation trend to offer unique and visually appealing breakfast options for parties, weddings, and other occasions.
