Created in a darling [heart-shaped form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-heart-cake), the cake is packed with Belgian Couverture chocolate and are baked to order. This comes as a fancier version to the existing [lava cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-lava-cake) made available from the brand in Japan and here in North America. The Domino's Japan 'Lovin' Fondant Chocolate' lava cake is available only for a limited time through February 18 and acknowledges the way that brands are taking international customs to new markets. As globalization continues, we'll likely see more brands translate offerings for new markets to enjoy.
