And as any dessert worth anything does, it comes with a cherry on top. The milkshake cake recipe calls for a box of your favorite [cake mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixing-bowl-mashup-blizzard-treat) (the opportunities are endless!), a semi-soft (spreadable) milkshake, Cool Whip and optional whipped cream, cherries and [chocolate sauce drizzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-hot-chocolate-shakes) for topping. After the cake is baked and cooled, poke holes evenly around it. The, pour the milkshake over and into the holes you made and place the whole thing in the freezer until frozen. All you have to do is add any toppings and serve! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Frozen Dessert Fusion:** The combination of two popular desserts, milkshakes and cake, presents an opportunity for innovative dessert creations. - **Alternative Cake Mixes:** Exploring different flavors and types of cake mixes can provide unique taste experiences for consumers. - **Over-the-top Toppings:** Creating extravagant toppings, such as whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate sauce drizzle, can elevate the visual appeal and indulgence of desserts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can leverage the concept of milkshake cakes to create innovative frozen dessert products. - **Baking and Pastry:** Baking and pastry businesses can experiment with different cake mixes and recipes to cater to the demand for unique and indulgent dessert experiences. - **Dessert Toppings and Garnishes:** Manufacturers and suppliers of dessert toppings can explore new flavors and packaging designs to meet the growing market for over-the-top dessert creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Donut-Topped Strawberry Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-shortcake-milkshake.md) - [Handcrafted Chocolate-Packed Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milkshake-factory.md) - [Multi-Textured Dessert Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-parfaits.md) - [Summertime Dessert Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-shake.md) - [Cotton Candy-Topped Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freddys-birthday-cake-shake.md) - [Cake-Flavored Ice Cream Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-cake-batter.md) - [Icy Cold Weather Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-chocolate-milkshake.md) - [Chocolate Milkshake Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-milkshake-cookie.md) - [Free-From Frozen Yogurt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-yogurt-cakes.md)
