DIY Donut-Shaped Cakes

Sugar and Cloth Offers New Shapes for Dessert

— July 10, 2014 — Lifestyle
Sugar and Cloth has whipped up a new recipe on the blog and given readers a different take on cakes. Using a few mini bunt containers, people can now make a delicious cake concoction, which looks exactly like mini donuts. For those that are a fan of both, you can have your cake and eat it too!

Granted, the ingredients are certainly filled with sugar so don't fool yourself into thinking this is a good diet-conscious recipe. However, it's ideal for having guests over and offering something with a unique twist. I personally prefer cake, but making it with the mini bunt containers helps with controlling the size of the portions, as each individual can be served their own mini donut. People can also get creative with the types of cakes baked!
Trend Themes
1. Mini Desserts - The trend of mini desserts is disrupting the traditional cake industry, as people prefer portion-controlled desserts such as mini donut-shaped cakes.
2. Creative Cake Molds - The trend of using creative molds to make cakes is disrupting the bakeware industry as people look for innovative ways to make their desserts look unique.
3. DIY Desserts - The trend of making desserts at home is disrupting the traditional bakery industry as people prefer to showcase their baking skills and control the ingredients.
Industry Implications
1. Bakeware Industry - The bakeware industry can capitalize on the trend of creative cake molds to attract customers who want to make unique and visually appealing desserts.
2. Food Service Industry - The food service industry can benefit from the trend of mini desserts by offering bite-sized desserts that cater to customers who want portion-controlled and diverse options.
3. Bakery Industry - The bakery industry can leverage the trend of DIY desserts by offering baking classes and tutorials to customers who want to learn how to make desserts at home.
