Danish spark : the mixed name food has reached them too ...

Everything is in the picture...

The Croisbun: When will the "mixing-food-name-likecronut" game will stop?

The fellow readers of this blog might remember that the theme "cronut" has been approached several times, the others can go here. But this seems to be a never ending story ...

Au Bon Pain (http://aubonpain.com), a Boston based bakery chain with more than 300 shops, just launched the "croisbun", which is said to be a mix between a croissant and a bun.

Interesting ?

And now is coming the Cragel ...

We obviously should have seen this one coming... After the Cronut and all its variation (http://umamispark.blogspot.de/search/label/Cronut), the Bagel Store in Brooklyn (http://www.thebagelstoreonline.com/) is launching the Cragel, a mix of Croissant and Bagel. According to USA Today, "the cragel was a concept owner Scot Rossillo came up with years ago. But he didn't feel the time was right for the cragel until now."

So, let's see when it arrives in Europe. Here are two pictures from http://instagram.com/thebagelstore#

Mini Spark : One more cronut variation...

Seen at Backwerk in Germany : the Crossy Donut is coming, in the Manhattan Menu ... We do think this is one of the fastest move from "Exclusive food found only in one shop in NY" to bakery discount shop...

Don't name it a cronut !

The one following the food news in the last month could easily got an indigestion of cronuts, just by looking at all the article dealing with the topic. What in Europe? After a bakery in Munich offered its home made ones (http://www.wirmachencupcakes.de), they start to reach German specialty shops via the wholesale Arctis, as seen here in Augsburg (Frucht&Bohne).

But the name Cronut is protected, and anyone wanting to produce a deep fried croissant dough needs to find another name ...
 So, in Germany, Arctis is using the nickname "American star" and Hiestand names it the "Crodoot". In Paris, the Hot dog Corner is selling "Croinut", while in the US, Paris Baguette switched the C with a K to sell Kronut. If you want more of this game, head to London : Rinkoff Bakery is selling a "Crodough" and Duck and Waffle a "Dosant" ...
