If cake is 19th century, then cupcakes are so yesterday. Meet the new kid on the block, Lollibakes, the super-sweet love child of the lollipop and the cupcake.
These four-bite delicacies, the brainchild of pastry chef Diana Sproveri, start off as a ball of cake which is then smothered in hard shell frosting and decorated with toppings like toffee chunks, cookie crumbs and coconut flakes.
Dropped your Lollibakes? Better move fast. Even the most fastidious of germophobes will bow to the five-second rule on this one.

- Textured Frosting
- Textured frosting will become a popular trend to give cupcakes and cakepops a unique look.

Sectors Adopting This

- Food Truck
- Food trucks specializing in sweets and desserts can offer Lollibakes as a unique and convenient option for customers on the go.
