By Ayman | Published 2008-06-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-share-cake-plate References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2008/06/cake-plate.html) & [uptoyoutoronto](http://uptoyoutoronto.com/cgi-bin/online/storepro.php) Fight no more about whose slice is bigger. The fair share **[Cake Plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-puzzle)** shows the exact measurement right on the circumference of the round plate. In addition to ensuring everyone is happy and satisfied, the plate can be a great tool for those who are on a diet but want to reward themselves with a [thin slice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape). It's what I call, informed guilty pleasure. The plate has a diameter of 27cm (10.5") and sells for $45 CAD. The [website](http://uptoyoutoronto.com/cgi-bin/online/storepro.php)describes it, “With this plate the concept of measurement is explored in a way that creates a connection between the person and the object. For instance, when cutting cake or cheese nobody will complain about having the smallest slice.” See more trends about portion control: ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portion Control:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing portion control tools and technologies. - **Informed Guilty Pleasure:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating products that allow individuals to indulge in guilty pleasures while still being aware of the portion size. - **Measurement Awareness:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing products that promote measurement awareness and reduce conflicts related to portion sizes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchenware industry by developing innovative portion control tools and dishes. - **Dieting and Weight Loss:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the dieting and weight loss industry by creating products that support informed portion control for individuals on a diet. - **Food Service:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food service industry by incorporating portion control concepts into plate designs and portioning strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Shareable Cookie Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cookie-pie.md) - [Plate-Style Graters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plate-grater.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Handmade Dessert Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carolina-k.md) - [All-in-One Eco Party Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knork-eco-party-plate.md) - [Intelligent Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4t7-smart-chopping-board.md) - [Specialty Meatball Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatball-plate.md) - [Lazy Susan Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-board-lazy-susan.md)
