THE VIRAL DOTCAKE: Have you tried it?

Our social feeds have been filled with rainbow cake cups for the past couple of weeks. This craze for the Dotcake, a colorful, crunchy cake that has taken over the internet.

Though the internet has just caught on, Dotcakes began in Roslyn in 2017 when, then-teenager Alex Posner created an aesthetically pleasing cake, selling them out of her parents’ home. These simple cakes, which taste nearly identical to Betty Crocker’s vanilla birthday cake recipe, are topped with a thin layer of vanilla frosting, then dipped in rainbow nonpareils, the crunchy, tiny, circle sprinkles that, before the dot cake, felt somewhat old-fashioned. But the Posners — Alex, and her mom, Sondra — have given the sprinkles new life.

While plenty of local bakeries and restaurants are doing straight dupes of the now-viral cake, with its layer of vanilla frosting covered with rainbow sprinkles, the “inspired” dot riffs have also begun. We’ve seen folks promoting dot cake milkshakes and dot cake brownie skillets, dot cake martinis, and dot cake lattes.
