It’s not a cup sleeve figure but an "edge child" — a new hipster egg cake trend for Instagram

By MOOK Scenic Spots, reported by Chen Wenlin
 
Nowadays, there are more and more creatively themed hipster cafes that use illustrations and relatable text to connect with customers. A small vendor in Yilan called “Edge Child Egg Cake” does just that, using a mix of words and images to depict humorous scenes of loneliness, paired with their signature “poop-shaped egg cake” — a quirky design that has drawn netizens to visit and take photos, making it the “must-eat dessert for outsiders.”

The Edge Child Egg Cake is different from the well-known “cup sleeve figures,” but it similarly uses a small, cute proportion to make poop-shaped cakes. Upon closer inspection, you’ll find they even have adorable facial features, which is quite novel. Not only are they cute in appearance, but the ingredients are also carefully selected — made in limited daily batches using low-sugar recipes to bake out naturally delicious egg cakes.

Additionally, this small vendor’s food truck is super cute. The Edge Child Egg Cake team has given the truck a hipster design with simple aesthetics and color schemes, plus charming illustrations that instantly win people over. Though the daily vending schedule isn’t as fixed as a regular store, many still come hoping to get a taste, showing just how appealing these egg cakes are.
