In honor of this exciting week filled with bloodthirsty sea predators, food blogger She Knows created this adorable beach-themed cream pie that is designed to help you celebrate all your shark-filled week long festivities. Making this Shark Week pie is surprisingly simple. Begin by filling a [graham cracker pie shell crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cookie-pie) with a deliciously sweet whipped topping. Dye the whipped topping blue using a blue raspberry Jell-O packet to recreate the aquamarine hue of the ocean. Then cover half the pie's surface with [crushed golden Oreo cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-crunch-dessert) to resemble the appearance of sand. Add cocktail umbrellas to the beach as well as candy sharks and fish to the ocean to finish this beachy cream pie off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Shark Week-inspired Desserts:** There is a growing trend of creating desserts and treats that celebrate the annual Discovery Channel Shark Week. - **Beach-themed Food:** Beach-themed food and desserts are becoming popular, with people looking for creative ways to incorporate beach elements into their dishes. - **Ocean-themed Dessert Decorations:** The use of ocean-themed decorations in desserts, such as candy sharks and fish, is gaining traction in the culinary world. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Baking and Pastry Industry:** The baking and pastry industry can tap into the trend of Shark Week-inspired desserts and create innovative products for customers. - **Event Planning and Catering Industry:** Event planners and caterers can incorporate beach-themed food into their menus to offer unique and memorable dining experiences. - **Food Decoration and Accessories Industry:** The food decoration and accessories industry can develop and market ocean-themed decorations and accessories for desserts to cater to the growing demand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shark-Themed Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-assortment.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-cupcake.md) - [Shark Attack-Themed Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-bite-creme-freeze.md) - [Gummy Shark-Garnished Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-bait-lemonade.md) - [Theatrical Shark Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharkey-temple.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-summer-pie-series.md) - [Shark-Themed Dirty Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggis-coffee-bad-bruce.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-ice-creams.md) - [Seasonal Summer Donut Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-donut.md)
