Remember when I mentioned testing a really out there wacky flavor? It's not perfected yet, but I finally got a chance to try out Pickle Cake!!!!
It was a bit shocking on how wild it sounds and how good it actually is. I had about 10 different taste testers and even more that didn't get to taste it but, I ran the idea past to see how they would react.
85% were immediately repulsed by the idea, and had zero interest in eating it, however, pushed through their revulsion to try it anyways. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone that usually would love my cakes to be against the idea of taste testing. That really says a lot right there. However, only 5% of my taste testers actually decided they didn't like it. 95% we're shockingly surprised by how much they liked it, 25% had feedback on how to improve it and another 25% seem to love it just as is.
While this did turn out to be an amazing flavor, it has its appropriate place and time. So maybe ordered as a joke flavor on April Fools or if I ever do popups, it would be a great one to offer among many other flavors of cupcakes. I hear we have a pickle festival nearby 😜
