The Baked by Melissa x Claussen Pickle Cupcake has been created by the refrigerated pickles brand and the New York-based bite-sized dessert company as an unexpected kind of baked good for consumers to try out.
The cupcakes start off with a dill pickle-infused cake that's topped with a pickle buttercream icing before being finished with red and white sprinkles on top.. The result is a deliciously sweet baked good with a touch of tanginess as a nod to Claussen's signature pickles. The baked good builds on the popularity of pickles and pickle-flavored foods, especially amongst Gen Z consumers, which has been fueled in part by TikTok.
The Baked by Melissa x Claussen Pickle Cupcakes are arriving July 10, 2024 in six or 25-packs, which are available in-store and online, respectively.
