The beverage is a lighter version of the edible and perfect for quick dessert cravings. The Funfetti Cake Batter Milkshake contains several ingredients found in the baked version, but opts for a much lighter texture with less sugar. The drink is made using vanilla ice cream and milk to create the [creamy milkshake texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashburger-shakes), powdered funfetti cake mix and [added sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-products-and-funfetti). The powdered cake mix adds the flavor while the sprinkles infused the beverage with color. Since the drink doesn't require baking, it is an ideal dessert-craving substitute that can be whipped up fast. The beverage can easily be made dairy-free as well by substituting the ice cream and whole milk for a plant or nut-based alternative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 - **Cake Milkshakes:** Opportunity for innovative twists on classic desserts by transforming them into refreshing beverages. - **Lighter Dessert Alternatives:** Potential for creating lower-calorie versions of popular treats to satisfy cravings. - **Dairy-free Milkshakes:** Opportunity to cater to the growing demand for plant-based and vegan options in the dessert industry. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for restaurants, cafes, and food manufacturers to offer unique dessert beverages. - **Dessert and Baking:** Chance for pastry chefs and bakers to diversify their product offerings with cake-inspired milkshakes. - **Dairy Alternatives:** Potential for dairy-free milk brands to expand their product range by creating plant-based milkshake alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sprinkle Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-celebrations-cake-mix.md) - [Cake-Infused Bourbon Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarified-cake-milk-punch.md) - [Handcrafted Chocolate-Packed Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milkshake-factory.md) - [Cake-Flavored Ice Cream Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-cake-batter.md) - [Sprinkle Cookie-Inspired Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinkle-cookie-shake.md) - [Cotton Candy-Topped Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freddys-birthday-cake-shake.md) - [Sprinkle-Packed Ice Cream Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-ice-cream-cake.md) - [Summertime Dessert Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-shake.md) - [Multi-Textured Dessert Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-parfaits.md)
