# Washing With Cupcakes Delicious Treats To Sweeten Anybody's Bath Water By Kyon | Published 2009-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fizzy-baker-cupcake-bath-bomb References: [blissfulbath](http://www.blissfulbath.com/) At first glance, I thought this was a cupcake, but when I read the information about, oh no, I found out it was actually soap. I really like the way these designers thought outside of the box when designing their soap and opted to go for something much more original The [cupcake soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchology-x-sprinkles) emits the scent of fresh-baked cupcakes with just a hint of [cherry, raspberry or lemon fragrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-peachy-soap-bar). I'd almost prefer to eat it than bath with it. Hand decorated just like the real thing, the [fizzy bath creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-soap) is the size of a regular cupcake, except the frosting, sprinkles and decorations are inedible as they are all made of soap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Edible-inspired Soaps:** The trend of creating personal care products with unique and edible-inspired designs opens up opportunities for companies to differentiate themselves and connect with customers on a sensory level. - **Scented Self-care:** The popularity of fragranced personal care items highlights the demand for an indulgent sensory experience in daily routines, and presents an opportunity for companies to develop innovative and appealing scents. - **Non-food Food-related Products:** The trend toward non-food items with food-inspired designs and themes allows companies to experiment with unconventional approaches to creating everyday products and appeal to customers' nostalgia and emotions. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care:** Companies in the personal care industry can innovate by offering unique, delicious-smelling products that encourage customers to indulge their senses and feel good about their self-care routine. - **Fragrance:** In the fragrance industry, there is an opportunity to push the boundaries of traditional scents and create daring and enticing scents that appeal to adventurous consumers looking for a unique sensory experience. - **Home Goods:** The home goods industry can explore food-related designs for non-food products, offering customers products that add fun and variety to their decor while also tapping into their love for food and nostalgia. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cake-Scented Shower Foams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shower-foam.md) - [Cake Fragrance Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-body-works-x-milk-bar.md) - [Cookie-Scented Body Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-scented-body-soap.md) - [DIY Bath Bomb Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-bomb-making.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Shower Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allkinds-froyo-collection.md) - [Sensorial Lamington Body Washes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-x-messina.md) - [Festive Whipped Body Washes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-foaming-body-wash.md) - [Fun Candy-Free Easter Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-soap.md) - [Cookie-Themed Limited Self-Care Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-and-crumbl.md)
