The Food & Beverages Industry never ceases to amaze us with its latest innovation and trends.

Previously, croffle was the most significant trend in the Indonesian market. It innovates two types of desserts as one, combining croissant and waffle altogether. Croffle retains the flaky, rich and buttery taste of a croissant, while giving the fun shape of a waffle. 

Today, a lot of people are more drawn to the fillings rather than the dessert itself. Desserts like mille crepes, eclairs, donuts, pies, tarts, and macarons are some examples.

The rising demand for fillings and toppings began shortly after this dessert trend. In 2022, the market size of fillings and toppings is estimated to be valued at USD 11.9 billion, with a projection to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2027. More small bakery businesses and franchises have started using custard cream. Some of the examples are various pastries and desserts, the most common ones being choux and donuts.

Bombolone or bomboloni, a donut originating from Italy caught Indonesian consumers’ attention back in 2019. The sensation of a tender donut mixed with unique cream or custard filling that immediately melts in the mouth enticed consumers more than ever. Even in the middle of the pandemic, the market demand for bombolone was still high and more small businesses answered the demand with open arms.

Complex, But Not Impossible: Crafting the Perfect Custard Cream

Making desserts in small batches for individuals is one thing, but making a big batch for business is an entirely different case. Making any type of creams, such as whipped cream and custard cream is no exception. Not enough whipping may cause runny texture, but overwhipping may ruin the overall result.

Alternatively, you can use any type of Lamequick® that might produce differing results that are no less tempting.
