Wait, what? Doesn’t the couch have to be edible? Well, in this case they are, as some genius has created a chocolate cake couch that looks almost too good to eat, or sit on. An exact replica of the [Mies van der Rohe Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-collection-1) couch, this pretty edible delight was displayed at the Haunch of Venison food art event in New York City. And now you can have your chocolate cake couch, and eat it too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Designer Recliner Cakes:** Opportunity for innovative confectioners to create edible furniture replicas - **Edible Furniture:** The rise of food art events showcasing edible furniture designs - **Food Art Events:** Increasing popularity of showcasing artistic food creations ### Where This Applies - **Confectionery:** Confectionery industry can explore the creation of edible furniture replicas - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can incorporate edible furniture as a unique dining experience - **Art and Design:** Art and design industry can explore the integration of food art in exhibitions and events ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balloon Dog Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dog-cake.md) - [Realistic Bread-Inspired Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loafa.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Curvaceous Padded Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-chair.md) - [Cocktail-Resembling Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-chair.md) - [Cutting-Edge Wearable Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttingedge-wearable-furnishings-mcm-wearable-casa-intersects-luxury-fashio.md) - [Desert Dune-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nando-studio.md) - [Mochi-Inspired Seating Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochiinspired-seating.md)
