Croissant Muffin Hybrids

The Confectionery Cruffin by Mr. Homes Bakehouse is a Tasty Pastry Mashup

— February 24, 2015 — Lifestyle
You've probably heard of the cronut by now (a croissant and donut hybrid), but this croissant muffin mashup from San Francisco-based Mr. Homes Bakehouse is giving the pastry a run for its money. While the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City is reveling in their baked good success, the west coast produced their own Instagram-famous dessert.

The croissant muffin is rolled in sugar, filled with coffee crème and topped with a homemade marshmallow. The light snack combines the croissant's flakes with biscuit-like layers that are easy to peel.

Described as the bakery's signature item, the cruffin is just one sweet hybrid featuring the croissant. In addition to donuts, people have also been mixing the flaky bread-based vehicle with waffles, pretzels, bagels and everything else in between.
Trend Themes
1. Pastry Hybrids - Innovative bakeries can create unique pastries that combine different flavors and textures, like the croissant muffin.
2. Instagram-worthy Desserts - Social media-friendly desserts that marry two popular treats, such as the cruffin, have the potential to attract a large customer base.
3. Exploring Bread Combinations - Bakery enthusiasts can experiment with various bread combinations, such as croissant and waffle, to create exciting new menu items.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can capitalize on the popularity of pastry hybrids by creating their own unique versions, attracting customers looking for innovative treats.
2. Café - Cafés can offer Instagram-worthy desserts like the cruffin to entice customers to visit their locations and promote their brand on social media.
3. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore and develop new bread combinations to create unique products and meet the demand for exciting flavor experiences.
