So, the word on the street is that pudding (yes, pudding) is going to replace cupcakes as the next big dessert trend. Now in the past, predictor types have also foreseen pie, whoopie pies and macaroons dethroning the almighty cupcake but so far…hasn’t happened. This article mentions a couple of new pudding restaurants that have popped up in New York where alot of trends start.
Don’t get me wrong I do love pudding, ESPECIALLY totally-from-scratch butterscotch pudding, but I really can’t imagine saying to my girlfriend during girl’s night out, “Hey! Let’s go get some pudding!” I mean, it’s going to either be ice cream (if we want something cold) or a cupcake. And I really don’t see mom ordering a big ‘ole bowl of chocolate pudding for little Mary Sue’s birthday party anytime soon.
But hey, what do I know? Do you think it could be the next big thing? Should cupcake shops start diversifying now and slap pudding on their menus?? Something to think about…
