37 Heaping Hybrid Desserts

From Disguised Cereal Cakes to Precious Pastry Mash-Ups

These heaping hybrid desserts will fool you at first glance -- just another reason not to judge a book by its cover!

Culinary geniuses everywhere love mixing and matching foods, as cooking is truly an art and therefore not always linear. The look on peoples' faces when they bite into something thinking it is one thing and have it turn out tasting like something completely unexpected is priceless. The phenomenon of mashing-up different desserts from varying cuisine styles as well as hiding one type of food within another (hello, burger-within-a-cake) is paving the way for a new style of fusion cooking.

With fusion desserts already popular in Asian countries, they are already experimenting with western-eastern fusion fast foods like kimchi-topped hotdogs. Time for the West to catch up!
