Pickle cupcakes are here, and they’re intriguing. Claussen and Baked by Melissa teamed up to create this unique treat.
America loves pickles. From pickle ketchup to spicy pickle crackers, the briny flavor has captivated us. Now, this tangy taste has entered the dessert realm with Claussen x Baked by Melissa Pickle Cupcakes.
Released on July 10, these pickle-infused cupcakes honor National Pickle Month. The cupcakes feature pickle-infused cake and buttercream icing. Festive red and white sprinkles complete the look. You can find these bite-sized treats at Baked by Melissa stores in New York City and Boston. A six-pack costs $10.25. Additionally, 25-packs are available online for $37, shipping nationwide.
Claussen has a history of innovative pickle products. Last year, Claussen collaborated with Spritz Society to create a pickle-flavored sparkling wine cocktail. Originally an April Fools’ gag, it became a summer hit. This year, it’s back in larger cans. Claussen also released miniature gummy pickles with Frankford Candy. Though pickle-shaped, they weren’t pickle-flavored.
Pickles in desserts aren’t new. In August 2023, the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival offered a Pickle Milkshake. Topped with whipped cream, dill, and peppercorns, it was a hit. Curiosity drove its sales, and it’s likely to do the same for these cupcakes.
Curiosity is a big factor. People will buy these cupcakes for their unique flavor. They’ll also buy them for Instagram and TikTok moments. Some might even use them for pranks.
These pickle cupcakes are sure to be a hit. They’re salty, sweet, and perfect for curious taste testers.
Don’t miss out on this intriguing treat!
