Snack-Friendly Cake Molds

The Nibble Cake Pan Encourages You to Literally Eat Cake

— October 8, 2013 — Art & Design
The Nibble Cake Pan was created for bakers who lack self-control. Well...sort of. Industrial designer Talia Wiener's creative cake mold allows you to bake a regular cake and a small cupcake at the same time and on the exact same pan. Doing this allows you to taste the finished product without actually having to dive into the real deal (the actual cake) to do so.

While the Nibble Cake Pan is great for those who want to see how their finished cake tastes, it will most likely see the most fanfare from avid cooker-snackers. You know, the folks who like to pick away at each dish as it's being prepared out of hunger and not necessarily curiosity. The Nibble Cake Pan is available now for $26.07.
Trend Themes
1. Snack-friendly Baking - The combination of regular cake and small cupcakes in the same pan provides an opportunity to address snacking culture with a more snack-friendly approach to baking.
2. Dual-purpose Cookware - The Nibble Cake Pan's ability to bake both a regular cake and a small cupcake provides an opportunity for manufacturers to explore dual-purpose cookware designs to optimize kitchen space.
3. Convenience Baking - The Nibble Cake Pan's design encourages convenience baking, providing an opportunity for manufacturers to develop more products that help minimize time and effort in the kitchen.
Industry Implications
1. Baking - The Nibble Cake Pan provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the baking industry with its unique dual-purpose design for snack-friendly cakes.
2. Cookware - The Nibble Cake Pan's design encourages manufacturers to explore new ways of designing cookware with dual-purpose features for maximum convenience in the kitchen.
3. Snack Foods - The snack-friendly design of the Nibble Cake Pan could be an opportunity for the snack foods industry to address consumer demand for more portion-controlled snacking options in a unique way.
