The artist created this [mid-century bungalow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bungalow-sintmartenslatem) and decorated it appropriately inside and out. The house has a black leather and plywood Eames chair, a Noguchi glass and wood table and fabulous [modern art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cm-g1-house)--all made from edible materials such as fondant. I also love the coconut shag rug, wafer cookie brick wall and chimney, retro wall clock, and the glass surrounding the front door. Check out the ingenious method she used to prop up the parts as the icing 'glue' firmed up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mid-century Modern Baking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of baking products and recipes that cater to the mid-century modern aesthetic. - **Edible Furniture and Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop edible versions of iconic furniture and decor pieces for baking and confectionery businesses. - **Architectural Gingerbread:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design architectural gingerbread kits that allow users to build replicas of famous buildings and homes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Baking and Confectionery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative baking techniques and materials to create visually stunning and edible creations. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with baking companies to create interior design-inspired edible decor products and kits. - **Architecture and Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge architectural modeling with baking to create interactive and educational gingerbread kits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refurnished Concrete Shingle Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-house-1.md) - [Edible Pastry Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-gingerbread-lodge.md) - [Gingerbread Architecture Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-house-kits.md) - [Haunted Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-gingerbread.md) - [Unconventional Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unconventional-holiday-houses.md) - [Mid-Century-Inspired Paper House Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-christmas-ornament.md) - [Festive Meat-Made Holiday Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcuterie-chalet-kit.md) - [Edible Pastry Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastry-holiday-homes.md) - [Functional Gingerbread Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-camera.md)
