The internet\u2019s latest obsession? Dot Cakes. And though they\u2019ve yet to prove their staying power, the sprinkle-topped mini cake cups certainly have people talking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In case you\u2019ve been entirely offline in the last week, allow me to get you up to speed. The trending treats come from Roslyn, New York bakery <a href=\"https:\/\/thedotcakes.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:The Dotcakes;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Dotcakes&quot;}\" class=\"link \">The Dotcakes<\/a> and are available in a few variations, including white, chocolate, vanilla chip, or red velvet\u2014all topped with the same signature finish: a thick layer of sprinkle-coated frosting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just <em>something<\/em> about the aesthetic rainbow nonpareils\u2014which make for the perfect ASMR moment when scraped with a spoon\u2014and the layered cake center has TikTok influencers and scrollers alike in a complete and total chokehold. So much so that other bakeries quickly jumped aboard the trend, and food creators have started DIY-ing the dessert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt tastes like a funfetti cake with a lot of crunch,\u201d influencer Danielle Pheloung says in a taste test video, which has now amassed over 7 million views. \u201cIt&#8217;s really, really, really, really, really good,\u201d she says after trying a bite of each flavor. She even calls it the \u201cbest thing\u201d she\u2019s ever had in her \u201centire life.\u201d That\u2019s a big sell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe cake is super light and fluffy, and then the frosting on top is really good,\u201d influencer Kennedy Clark adds in her own post. \u201cThe sprinkles on top add a little crunch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While plenty of users were quick to gush in the comments\u2014\u201cI NEED IT RN,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cAnother reason I need to move to NYC,\u201d someone else chimed in\u2014the internet-famous food has also stirred up some controversy amidst its boom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s a cake w\u2026sprinkles why is everyone acting like it\u2019s a new invention,\u201d one critic wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026..cake. We\u2019ve lost the plot people,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhite people will make anything a trend,\u201d a third person joked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The takeaway? Both sides of the convo are right. It\u2019s cake with frosting and sprinkles\u2026but doesn\u2019t that sound like exactly the type of thing you\u2019d want to eat?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wanna judge for yourself? While the bakery is taking a pause on order requests (they went <em>that<\/em> viral), you can get the Dot Cakes at Butterfield Market in NYC on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and Saturdays at 1 p.m. <em>or<\/em> from the OG Dotcakes bakery in Roslyn from Tuesday to Friday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. or Saturday at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTok is a breeding ground for viral food trends.
