The word “cake” on paper is a simple, one-syllable word, yet its meaning could not be farther from the opposite. Year after year, cakes have continuously topped the charts as a longstanding dessert staple for various occasions. Just as the universe is evolving, so is the cake trend in addition to the ever-changing wants and needs of patrons. Bygone is the era of simple cakes and in its place are elaborate cakes, cake pops and most important to note, the new emerging trend of gelato cakes, which can also be created with frozen yogurt. Holiday gatherings always have a plethora of cakes in store for guests, but this holiday season, the trend worth trying is the decorative and flavorful gelato cake.
A simple, yet unique twist on a classic, gelato cakes combine two of the most treasured dessert staples – ice cream and cake. Gelato cakes are an easily customized dessert concept due to their ability to use any gelato flavor within it to create the cake. Holiday flavors are one of the biggest perks of gelato shops during holiday months, so play up the seasonal favorites in your cakes such as eggnog, gingerbread or peppermint gelato. Tasting multiple flavors in one bite is enticing to guests, so wow your patrons with a chocolate peppermint gelato cake or a mascarpone cranberry gelato cake, complete with several layers. Gelato cakes are easily created using any holiday flavor, or create your own unique flavor combination and be the first shop in your town to offer it!
Since the visual appeal of gelato cakes is the first impression patrons get, just as important as the flavor is the finished glaze and décor that top the cake. PreGel’s Evolution Glazes are specialty dessert coatings that add a delicate touch of flavor and crystal-like shine to cakes, enhancing the original flavor profile. Available in seven flavors, these innovative glazes pour smoothly for even distribution, don’t smear during cutting and preserve the final appearance of your gelato cake presentation. Also worth mentioning is PreGel’s Neutral Transparent Icing, which features the same advantages as Evolution Glazes, but is clear in color and neutral in flavor. PreGel’s Chocolate Mirror Icing can also be used to create a shiny finish, while featuring a rich chocolate taste. Top this finished look with seasonal garnishes such as candy canes, berries, snowmen and stars. In addition to toppings and glazes, a unique thing about cakes is they can be easily made into various shapes using cake molds. Use a Christmas tree, star or snowflake mold and allow the shape of the cake to evoke the holiday spirit on its own.
