Abstract
This research explores the Selfie Jar Cake, a culinary innovation gaining popularity among millennials. This study focuses on the product's appeal, the influence of social media, challenges, and potential for development. The Selfie Jar Cake, served in a glass container and personalized with a picture or photo, provides a unique experience combining personalization with visual aesthetics, aligning with millennials' tendencies to share moments on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys of millennial consumers, interviews with producers and culinary experts, and social media analysis to understand product perception and adoption. The findings reveal that the main appeal of the Selfie Jar Cake is its ability to provide a personalized visual experience, attracting consumers who value aesthetics and customization. Social media plays a crucial role in its promotion, with visually appealing posts attracting significant engagement. However, challenges like pricing and image quality are barriers to broader adoption. The study recommends flexible pricing strategies and improved image quality, alongside innovative social media marketing, to boost consumer satisfaction and drive growth in the culinary market.
