# Dessert Corn Dogs These Corn Dogs are Battered in Red Velvet Cake Mix By M | Published 2014-09-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-cake-mix References: [foodiggity](http://www.foodiggity.com/red-velvet-corn-dogs-are-the-best-of-both-worlds/) & [thevulgarchef](http://thevulgarchef.com/2014/09/21/so-i-made-some-corn-dogs/) Food blogger the Vulgar Chef recently came up with the rather unusual idea of breading hot dog wieners in red velvet cake mix, rather than [cornbread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-cornbread-mix), to make a batch of corn dogs. This new take on the traditional comfort food dish combines sweet and savory flavors. Vulgar Chef made these corn dogs by dipping beef hotdogs into a batch of red velvet cake mix. The hot dogs are then deep fried and drizzled in a layer of [melted chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-dumplings) and powder sugar. The bright red coloring of the cake mix gives these corn dogs a rather unusual look but one bite is sure to melt away all your suspicions. The Vulgar Chef also makes a vanilla blueberry corn dog. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sweet-savory Fusion:** Combining sweet and savory flavors in unexpected ways creates opportunities for innovative food creations. - **Unconventional Ingredients:** Using unconventional ingredients, like red velvet cake mix, in classic recipes can lead to unique and eye-catching dishes. - **Playful Presentations:** Exploring creative and visually appealing presentations of familiar foods adds an element of fun and surprise to dining experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore new ingredients and flavor combinations to cater to adventurous consumer tastes. - **Restaurant and Catering:** Restaurants and catering businesses can create special menu items featuring unconventional ingredients and playful presentations to attract customers seeking unique dining experiences. - **Food Blogging and Content Creation:** Food bloggers and content creators can experiment with innovative recipes and visually appealing food presentations to engage their audience and stand out in the saturated digital landscape. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza-Flavored Corn Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-pizza-sausage.md) - [Ranch-Drizzled Corn Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotnranch-corn-dog.md) - [Grocer-Stocked Frozen Corn Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wienerschnitzel-1.md) - [Miniature Corn Dog Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-corn-dogs.md) - [Free-From Dessert Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-cake-donut.md) - [Hybrid Cheesesteak Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corn-dog-cheesesteak.md) - [Vegan Corn Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-corn-dog.md) - [Hot Dog Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-dog-ice-cream.md) - [Southern Cuisine Hot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-bird-dogs.md)
