While children love the sweet and indulgent taste of snack cakes, these kinds of treats are often filled with unhealthy ingredients. Thindulgence aims to revolutionize snack cakes by providing a dessert that is just as sweet, but free from unhealthy ingredients. The new 'Simply Cakes' are designed to resemble the taste and texture of store-bought snack cakes. The difference is that Simply Cakes are made with less fat and sugar, while also containing more fiber and more protein. Simply Cakes are also [free from GMOs and gluten](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-treats), making them an appropriate snack for those who adhere to a specialty diet. Despite the use of healthy and natural ingredients, the individually wrapped snacks do not sacrifice flavor. The chocolate snack cakes are rich and delicious, making them the perfect treat for adults and children alike. Thindulgence is currently running a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-muffins) campaign to bring the [healthy snack cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-swirl-cake-slices) to consumers everywhere. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Healthy Snack Alternatives:** Developing snacks that provide a healthier alternative to traditional food cakes by using less fat, less sugar, more fiber, and more protein. - **Gmo-free Products:** Creating products that are free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to cater to the increasing demand for GMO-free options. - **Specialty Diets:** Responding to the needs of consumers who adhere to specialty diets, such as gluten-free, by offering snacks that meet their dietary restrictions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Snack Food Industry:** Expanding the snack food industry by introducing healthier snack alternatives that appeal to health-conscious consumers. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Offering products that align with the health and wellness trend, providing consumers with nutritious snack options. - **Food Manufacturing Industry:** Exploring innovative ways to develop and produce food products that meet the needs of specific dietary requirements and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crispy Curry-Flavored Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thai-curry-veggie-cakes.md) - [Baked Free-From Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entenmanns-donut-cakes.md) - [Modernized Mini Cake Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-snack-cakes.md) - [Indulgent Snack Cake Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonders-new-snack.md) - [Gluten-Free Graham-Style Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grahamstyle-snacks.md) - [Vegan Allergen-Free Snack Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohh-foods-snack-bites.md) - [Better-for-You Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rule-breaker-snacks.md) - [Indulgent Gluten-Free Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-treats.md) - [Artisan-Inspired Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premier-foods-cake.md)
