Calorie-Laden Calculators

The No-Fuss Dessert Generator is an Online Gateway to Homemade Gluttony

— May 29, 2012 — Lifestyle
Originally popularized by the New York Times, the No-Fuss Dessert Generator is a straightforward guide to post-dinner delight.

Featuring gorgeous photos of tried and true ingredients, the chart-like generator allows people to make glorious wonders with whatever they may have lying around the house. Leftover-friendly and definitely helpful, the graph is divided into three distinct sections: the base, the filling and the topping. Featuring luxe and simple ingredients alike, the chart shows there's a dessert to be made no matter your tastes. One of the first food-creation guides to take this form, this is a slightly comedic way to go about deciding on dessert.

Easy-to-use and with a wide variety of ingredients, this is an awesome appropriation of a graph to illustrate dessert options. Beautifully designed and just plain nice to look at, this generator is foodie-friendly and sure to go viral.
Trend Themes
1. Easy Dessert Generators - Developing or partnering with an online calculator that allows users to input their available ingredients to generate dessert recipes on-the-go.
2. DIY Recipe Inspiration - Creating a mobile app that provides recipe inspiration based on the ingredients consumers have on hand, encouraging at-home experimentation with flavors and textures beyond dessert.
3. Structured Ingredient Guides - Developing more interactive and visually pleasing guides that break down the ingredients needed for cooking or baking, reducing food waste and offering innovative recipe ideas.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Calorie-Laden Calculators like the No-Fuss Dessert Generator could provide new opportunities for recipe-sharing websites, grocery stores or food delivery services to create their own interactive calculators, increasing convenience and customization for consumers.
2. Technology - Partnering with food bloggers and independent chefs to develop and promote technological solutions, such as augmented reality-powered ingredient scanning or smart refrigerators that suggest recipes based on available ingredients, modernizing how consumers approach home cooking.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Leveraging emerging technology and interactive platforms to create more unique and engaging advertising campaigns that promote the convenience, creativity, and accessibility of DIY cooking and baking.
