# Marriage Equality Cakes The Inside of This Red Velvet Cake Looks Like the Equality Sign By M | Published 2013-07-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equality-sign References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/emofly/how-to-make-an-equality-cake) Inspired by the red and pink equality sign image that went viral over [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rival-peak) this past year, this [red velvet wedding cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robocake) creatively embeds the equality sign inside the layers of the cake. This equality sign was created to spread awareness about the [Supreme Court's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playboi-carti-supreme) debate over the marriage equality, and what way to properly display the marriage equality sign than inside a wedding cake? To replicate the iconic pink equal-sign symbol, you'll need to bake five standard red velvet cakes and two, smaller pink ones. The pink cakes fit inside the red ones so that, when the cake is sliced, you see the red cake in the background with a pink equal sign symbol in the middle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Marriage Equality Awareness:** Opportunity for businesses to create products or campaigns that promote marriage equality and spread awareness. - **Creative Cake Design:** Innovative cake designs that incorporate symbols or messages can disrupt the traditional wedding cake industry. - **Personalized Wedding Cakes:** Customizable wedding cakes that allow couples to express their values and beliefs, such as supporting marriage equality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bakery:** Bakeries can embrace the trend by offering unique cake designs that celebrate marriage equality. - **Wedding Industry:** Wedding planners and venues can cater to couples who want to incorporate symbolism and equality into their wedding celebrations. - **Social Awareness Merchandise:** Companies can create and sell merchandise like equality symbol-themed cake toppers and accessories to support the cause. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Occasion Layered Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cake.md) - [Colorful Pride Month Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-pride-cake.md) - [Lobster Roll Wedding Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-wedding-cakes.md) - [Red Velvet Cake Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/susiecakes.md) - [Decadent Pink-Themed Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-valentines-day-lineup.md) - [Sprinkle Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-celebrations-cake-mix.md) - [Convenient Valentine's Day Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-no-name-cake.md) - [Dual-Flavor Movie-Inspired Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-celebration-cake.md) - [Red Velvet Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-rose-bundt-cakes.md)
