CAKES & DECORATING

Single Serve
Mini desserts have grown
more popular year after year for a
number of different reasons. The
applications of mini desserts vary
greatly and make them a fantastic
addition to any bakery café's
menu. In light of the strength and
influence of the health and wellness
movement in America, consumers
still want their indulgences. Mini
desserts provide a compromise to
shoppers looking to eat healthier
yet enjoying their favorite sweets.
"We sell lots of tres leches cake
slices," says Vanessa Rascon of
Mercado y Carniceria El Rancho
in Mesa, Arizona. "We make one
kind with toasted coconut on top
and filled with strawberry filling and
Bavarian cream filling."
The
bakery
also
sells
cheesecake slices, as well as full
size cheesecakes
covered with
cajeta and dollops of whipped cream

with fresh strawberries and peaches
on top. Fresh strawberries dipped
in strawberry glaze and placed on
top of single-desserts make an eyecatching dessert.
Mercado y Carniceria El
Rancho's other location on Bell
Road in Phoenix, Arizona, features
single-serve red velvet cakes,
cream-cheese filled cinnamon rolls,
tres leches cakes slices and unique
products called "grabs," a pastry
filled with pineapple. "We have a
lot of customers who are looking
for flavorful pastries that they can
buy and eat on the go," says Jesus
Acosta, head baker at Mercado y
Carniceria El Rancho in Phoenix.
ADVANTAGES

Aside from the calorie and
health advantages given to the
consumer, mini desserts give
retailers the ability to offer shoppers

more choices and possibly added
flexibility. Rather than showing your
customers two to four full size items,
such as cakes, pies or cheesecakes in
the case, show them eight to ten
variations of these items.
By displaying multiple mini
desserts in your case, you also
provide consumers with the option
of sampling multiple items of
different flavors. Your customers can
now enjoy some cake, cheesecake
and pie while still feeling good and
healthy about their choice of buying
mini desserts.
The variety of multiple mini
desserts in your case also appeals
to shoppers' eyes. "They lend
themselves to visual extravagance
and gorgeous groupings," says
pastry chef Mackie Israth. This
visual stimulus might persuade
consumers to purchase items they
didn't originally intend to buy.
