The Eclipse Magic Cone was available from August 17 to 21 to make it a limited-edition creation that, like the eclipse itself, was only around for a very brief period of time this summer. The Eclipse Magic Cone consisted of a [black charcoal waffle cone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opaque) that was rimmed with edible gold and filled with spiced marshmallow fluff, turmeric and golden yellow coconut soft serve before being dipped in a black sesame dip. The eclipse-themed ice cream was topped with pop rocks on the top portion that added the effect of cratering to look even more celestial. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eclipse-themed Desserts:** Creating unique dessert experiences inspired by celestial events, such as eclipse-themed ice creams, offers a memorable and limited-time product for customers. - **Edible Gold Infusion:** Using edible gold as a decorative element in food creations, such as rimming the waffle cone, provides a luxury touch and enhances the visual appeal of the product. - **Innovative Flavor Combinations:** Experimenting with unique flavor combinations, like spiced marshmallow fluff and black sesame dip, can provide customers with exciting and unexpected taste experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream Industry:** The ice cream industry can explore limited-edition, theme-inspired flavors and unique presentation techniques to attract customers and increase sales. - **Luxury Food Industry:** The luxury food industry can utilize edible gold as a premium enhancement to create visually stunning and upscale products appealing to high-end consumers. - **Food Innovation Industry:** The food innovation industry should encourage experimenting with unconventional flavor combinations to create exciting and differentiated products that cater to adventurous palates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cosmically Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punk-stargonaut.md) - [Celestial Cookie-Topped Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-solar-eclipse-doughnut.md) - [Eclipse-Themed Cookie Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-eclipse-1.md) - [Exclusive Eclipse Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-donut.md) - [All-Black QSR Slush Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackout-slush-float.md) - [Eclipse-Inspired Snacking Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-eclipse-survival-kit.md) - [S'mores-Flavored Waffle Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smore-cone.md) - [Caramel-Dipped Waffle Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-dipped-waffle-cone.md) - [Non-Dairy Ice Cream Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-bonbons.md)
