The Pink Velvet Cake Truffle recipe suggests that bakers use a [cake mix from a box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-celebrations-cake-mix) as opposed to baking from scratch; doing so saves time and ensures that the measurements will be accurate. After the batter is mixed, infused with pink food dye -- the most important ingredient -- and rolled into tiny rosy balls, the truffles are cooked a bit longer and then [dipped into melted milk chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-lindor-pistachio-truffles) and topped with rainbow sparkles. The finished product is an adorably delicious pink treat! **Implications** - Consumers respond very well to modern updates or enhancements made to their favorite products.
