Dominique Ansel and Kith Treats are debuting a collab Mystery Cronut this weekend
Two NYC heavyweights—one in streetwear, the other in sugar—are teaming up to drop a treat that's as stylish as it is flaky. Pastry king Dominique Ansel and Kith Treats are launching a limited-edition Cronut, and here's the twist: the flavor is a total mystery until the day before launch. Dubbed "The Metropolitan," the collaborative Cronut is inspired by Kith's global tagline, 'New York to the World,' and lands just in time to toast Dominique Ansel Bakery's 14th anniversary and Kith Treats' 10th. It's the first-ever crossover between the two brands, both known for remixing tradition with high-impact creativity—and in this case, butter. The mystery flavor will finally be revealed via @dominiqueansel and @kithtreats on Thursday, May 15. Until then, speculation is fair game—Ube? Baklava? Pizza Rat Praline Swirl? Okay, maybe not that last one. Starting Friday, May 16, through Sunday, May 18, the Cronut will be available exclusively at Dominique Ansel Bakery in SoHo (189 Spring Street). Meanwhile, all U.S. Kith Treats shops, including the newly reopened SoHo flagship (337 Lafayette Street), will serve up a soft-serve swirl infused with the same secret Cronut flavor, because what's a celebration without an ice cream sidekick? Ansel, famously the creator of the Cronut in 2013, has a reputation for keeping New Yorkers on their toes and in lines that wrap around the block. Add Kith's design-savvy fanbase to the mix, and it's safe to say this collab will draw sneakerheads and sweet tooths alike. So whether you're a downtown fashion devotee, a pastry purist, or just in it for the Instagram, mark your calendars. This one's got 'future collector's item' written all over it—if you can get your hands on one.

Expo City Dubai is getting a Festival of Cake this year
Who doesn't love a good cake? We know we do. Which is why we'll be heading to Expo City Dubai this year for The Festival of Cake. Organised in collaboration with TGP International, the festival will run from November 28 to December 2 and centre around sweets and pastries from across the world. The five-day event will bring together amateur bakers, celebrity chefs, families, and cake lovers. It will feature bake-offs, dining experiences, celebrity chef appearances, baking and cake-themed activities, a giant sprinkles pool, entertainment, and competitions. With renowned names already confirmed—including Canadian baking sensation and TV host Anna Olson; Claire Clark MBE, a master pâtissier recognised as one of the world's top pastry chefs; Kimberly Lin, formerly of Claridge's and Dominique Ansel Bakery; and Markus Bohr of Harrods—the event is set to be the region's largest pastry and confectionery celebration. Amna Abulhoul, Executive Creative Director of Entertainment and Experiences at Expo City Dubai, said: "We are thrilled to launch our very own Festival of Cake. This festival is more than a celebration of dessert—it is a tribute to artistry, precision, and beauty. From the careful selection of ingredients to the intricate designs that transform cakes into edible masterpieces, it promises a feast for both the eyes and the palate." Simon Wright, Founder of TGP International, commented: 'As a global 360° hospitality agency, we constantly strive to create new and exciting F&B ventures that lead to unforgettable experiences for our customers. Our partnership with Expo City Dubai has allowed us to take our creativity and offerings to the next level. The Festival of Cake, with its diverse activities and strong international presence, is a testament to this successful collaboration, enabling us to bring a star-studded line-up of chefs and brands to the region.' Tickets will be on sale in September 2025.
