These cupcakes are a work of art that feature an undeniably decadent aesthetic. The brownie sundae cupcakes feature several aspects that need to be prepped prior to assembling including a [brownie cupcake base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-cup-brownie) made from [Ghirardelli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-style-chocolate-sundae) dark chocolate brownie mix filled with added hazelnuts and a sugar cone topped with chocolate sprinkles and fudge sauce. The cones are filled with homemade Nutella ice cream made from vanilla frozen custard, chocolate spread and brownie pieces. The cupcake is arranged in a sundae tray topped with the cone inside the brownie cupcake that is filled with the Nutella ice cream and topped with a chocolate truffle. While these cupcakes are larger than most, you might need a fork and knife to help you dive in and enjoy a slice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Combination Desserts:** Innovative desserts that combine two or more classic treats to create a unique culinary experience. - **Homemade Ice Cream:** The rise of homemade ice cream making as a popular and creative activity for home cooks and small businesses. - **Premium Baking Mixes:** The development of premium baking mixes that offer elevated flavors and textures for consumers looking to create gourmet desserts at home. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Manufacturing:** Opportunities for manufacturers to create combination dessert products and high-quality baking mixes for home cooks. - **Restaurant and Cafe:** Incorporation of unique combination desserts to restaurant and cafe menus that target consumers seeking Instagram-worthy and indulgent desserts. - **Home Baking Supplies:** The rise of home baking supplies offering artisanal and gourmet ingredients for consumers to create their own elevated desserts at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sundae-Inspired Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-brownie-sundae.md) - [Indulgent Spoonable Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes2.md) - [Frosting-Filled Chocolate Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupcake-cups.md) - [Brownie-Packed Ice Cream Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skor-caramel-brownie-cupfection.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-brownie-batter.md) - [Sundae-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-fudge-sundae-chocolate-bar.md) - [Salty-Sweet Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-brown-butter-cookie-dazzler.md) - [Viral Chocolate Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-style-chocolate-sundae.md) - [Cupcake-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupcake-ice-cream-flavor.md)
