Chocolatey Platypus Eclairs

These Delicious Chocolate Pastries are Decorated to Look Like Animals

— August 22, 2015 — Lifestyle
It might not be often that you find chocolate pastries designed to look like various animals, but thankfully bakery Lou Lou P's Delights has created some in case you've been searching -- and not just any animal at that. These tiny chocolate eclairs are designed to look like miniature duck-billed platypuses complete with long beaks and tails.

Lou Lou P's Delights often specializes in turning pastries into edible animals, often picking adorable creates like snails, unicorns, pugs and butterflies. However this time, the brand opted to recreate a rather unpopular mammal, the platypus, from chocolate eclairs. The end result is incredibly cute, as the pillowy eclair forms the platypus' body that is then covered with chocolate drizzle and sprinkles to replicate fur, drawn on eyes and even given a chocolate beak and tail.
Trend Themes
1. Animal-inspired Pastry Designs - Create pastries that resemble animals to attract customers with unique and adorable treats.
2. Unconventional Pastry Creations - Experiment with unconventional pastry designs, like the platypus eclair, to stand out in the market and wow customers.
3. Edible Artistry - Combine culinary expertise with artistic skills to create visually stunning pastries that are not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can capitalize on the trend of animal-inspired pastry designs to attract a wider customer base and create a specialty niche.
2. Café - Cafés can differentiate themselves by offering unconventional pastry creations, such as the platypus eclair, to enhance the dining experience and draw in customers.
3. Catering - Catering companies can incorporate edible artistry into their dessert offerings to add a unique and visually appealing touch to special events and celebrations.
