Hybrid pastries are not exactly new and trending; they have been around for at least ten years, with the first cronut hitting New York City in 2013 thanks to pastry chef, Dominique Ansel. Since it's inception, a range of other patisseries and viennoiseries have been baking.
Here's the lowdown on some hybrid pastries you may have come across:
1) Cronut
A croissant and a doughnut.
2) Crookie
A croissant and a cookie.
3) Brookie
Part brownie, part cookie.
4) Cruffin
A croissant and a muffin.
Whether or not you think it's a fad or artisanal ingenuity, the right combination of social media, amalgamated pastry and a viral video could be the next thing your business needs to send sales soaring.
Seasonal, traditional, or even incorporating all-time local favourites - like durian, pandan or coconut - could be some of the ways to re-create these pastries.
