Push-Up Cafe Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Starbucks Korea Drive-Thru Cakes Come in Three Flavor Options

— April 6, 2018 — Lifestyle
Urban consumers have shifted to favor on-the-go foods to help them stay fueled as they go about their daily routine, so the Starbucks Korea Drive-Thru Cakes have been unveiled as a new treat option with this in mind.

The cakes are packaged in push-up plastic containers that are inspired by push-up pops that were a quintessential part of the 90s when it came to frozen treats. The cakes are able to be enjoyed cleanly wherever you go and will eliminate consumers from leaving a trail of crumbs as they go to ensure they arrive at their destination fresh and mess-free.

The Starbucks Korea Drive-Thru Cakes come in three flavor options including 'Lemon Yellow Cake,' 'Red Velvet' and 'Moist Chocolate.'
