Baking enthusiasts are making vaccine cakes and pastries. (Source: pasteligdl/Instagram, cerna_madona/Instagram) COVID-19 has influenced all of our lives in more ways than one, from our lifestyle choices to fashion and even food. While we saw a variety of pandemic food trends emerge since last year, the latest addition to the list is vaccine-themed desserts.
Bakeries across the world are now coming up with a wide range of vaccine-themed cakes and pastries. In Hungary, for instance, a pastry shop has come up with vaccine-themed layered mousses with colourful jelly toppings and decorative syringes on top. Each jelly represents a different COVID-19 vaccine — citrus yellow for AstraZeneca and a slightly darker yellow for Sinopharm, matcha green for Pfizer, orange for Sputnik V, and a vivid blue for Moderna, Reuters reported.
In March, Cerna Madona, a restaurant in Prague created a vaccine-themed dessert with a sponge cake base, banana mousse and strawberry-banana filling, according to expatz.cz. The dessert has a vaccine capsule injected on top. Earlier, they had made a coronavirus-themed black dessert as well.
