  • 20 14 Trend Insight Report
    20 TREND INSIGHT 14 REPORT DESSERT TOUR PART ONE: SEASONALITY Kit Barmann Marketing Communication Lead Around the holidays, consumer and trend expert Pamela Oscarson and I selected a variety of restaurants and shops in Chicago to explore and scout their sweet flavor combinations, menu items and unique creations. We wanted a first-hand look at dessert trends and flavors, and we were not disappointed. Introduction to our Dessert Trends Series During our tour, we noticed five clear trends: 1. Seasonality 2. Comfort/Nostalgia 3. Local/Sustainability 4. Twist on the Classics 5. Simplicity Beginning with this report on Seasonality, we will deliver a series covering each trend over the next several weeks. Reports will look at the trend in general, and then discuss how we saw it in action from French pastry shops to ice cream shops and trendy restaurants. Ready? Let’s go! 1900 Averill Road, Geneva, IL 60134 630.578.8600 | www.fona.com Seasonality Each season has flavors associated with it, but fall and winter have several great ones, not the least of which is pumpkin. Pumpkin flavor is a terrific example of seasonal flavors in the marketplace. Consumer anticipation for Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte reaches towering heights leading to its annual launch when the weather turns cool. The flavor is comforting, sentimental and nostalgic, delivering coffee drinkers a taste that evokes feelings of comfort and memories of things like bonfires, pumpkin carving, special meals with families. It is something they look forward to each year. It is a seasonal treat. Seasonal flavors incorporated into menu items and product launches throughout the year give consumers a new reason to engage with the brand and build excitement.

  • Candy Bar Apples Continued from Previous Page 1
    CANDY APPLES, FULLY Edited by Amy Bowen and Christine Pittman Candy Apples, Fully hen The Cookful launched last month our first topic was WPopcorn. One of the things we wrote about was Classic Popcorn Balls. Do you remember? I was a bit afraid going into that whole thing because it involved candy-making. I didn’t even own a candy thermometer back then. Well, now I own one but I was still a bit terrified to take on our newest topic, Candy Apples. Why the fear? It was that candy apples involve quite a bit of candy-making. I cringed and got out my handy-dandy candy thermometer. The cringe wasn’t necessary though. Turns out, candy apples are a breeze to make. Super-easy and they don’t take long either. So don’t let your fear of hot sugar stop you from taking this on. You’ve got this. And if you’re unsure about anything, don’t worry. We’re here to help you with every single step, from making basic bright red candy-coated apples, to homemade caramel apples, to unique toppings - we’ve gotcha. We even have a comparison between homemade coatings and store- bought ones so you’ll know whether it’s worth it to buy or to make. What else? Tips galore and ideas of things you can use as sticks. Oh, and some really unique and wacky candy apple recipes too. Candy Apples, Fully Table of Contents Candy Apple Shopping Guide . 4 How to Make Candy Apples . 6 Store-Bought Candy Apple Coating: Tested! .
