A Move into Cake Bars
Krispy Kreme is almost entirely defined by its doughnut cabinets. The brand’s core identity is the ring doughnut, served fresh, often in multi-packs. This concept image for Original Glaze Slices suggests a significant departure from that format, taking the brand into the ambient cake aisle for the first time.
The packaging depicts six rectangular bars, similar in form to products like flapjacks or brownie bites. It’s a move away from the individual, circular treat and towards a shareable traybake. This format would place Krispy Kreme in direct competition with established cake bar manufacturers, a very different market space from its fresh counter and supermarket doughnut stands. The product is presented in a cardboard tray inside a plastic flow-wrap, typical for long-life cakes and a world away from the classic flat cardboard box.
Pistachio’s Mainstream Moment
The choice of Pistachio Cream is timely. Once a specialist flavour found mostly in Italian desserts like gelato or cannoli, pistachio has become a mainstream ingredient in UK confectionery over the past few years. It appears in everything from ice cream and chocolate bars to pastries and iced coffees. Its appeal lies in a flavour profile that is nutty but also subtly sweet, pairing well with creamy textures.
The mockup shows a layered construction: a light-coloured sponge base, a thick layer of white cream, and a topping that combines the signature glaze with a sprinkle of chopped green nuts. This layered approach is common in cake bars and allows for distinct textures. The flavour itself aims for a premium positioning, tapping into the current popularity of pistachio across the UK food scene.
The Original Glaze
The most familiar element here is the ‘Original Glaze’ branding. This directly links the new format to Krispy Kreme’s most iconic product. While the name is present, adapting the notoriously delicate, crackable glaze from a fresh doughnut to a packaged cake slice would be a technical challenge. On a doughnut, the glaze is applied when warm and sets into a thin, brittle shell.
In this format, it appears to be a thin layer on top of the cream filling. The challenge would be maintaining that signature texture and taste in a product designed to be stored at ambient temperature. It’s an attempt to carry over the single most important piece of the brand’s DNA into an entirely new product category.
