To start off, the baker only needs to bake the cookies; however, there needs to be three 1.5 inch round cookies, and one 2 inch round with the middle removed as well as a flower cookie that needs to be smaller than 1.5 inches for stability. Then, with bamboo forks inserted into the rounds, the cookies will require the use of icing as a glue to stack the cookies on top of one another. Then, with the ringed cookie, black flood icing is used as filler, then [cookie crumbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-cookies) are placed on top to act as dirt. Once the cookies are iced and fused together, the flower cookie is added on top of the bamboo forks. Then voila, the Flowers in Pots cookie is complete. The Flowers in Pots cookie is a cute way to [welcome the summer months](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cutout-cookies) ahead and would be a great addition to any picnic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Artistry:** Creating visually stunning and delicious treats that showcase creativity and skill. - **Interactive Baking Experiences:** Engaging consumers in the process of baking by providing hands-on activities and unique techniques. - **Gourmet Desserts:** Elevating traditional treats into luxurious and high-end culinary experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery:** Opportunity for bakeries to offer customized and artistic cookie creations for special occasions or as unique gifts. - **Food Entertainment:** Creating interactive baking workshops or classes that allow participants to learn and create visually appealing delights. - **Event Catering:** Providing gourmet desserts, like the Flowers in Pots cookie, as part of a memorable and unique culinary experience for special events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Baking Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shortbread-heart-baking-pan.md) - [Earthy Dessert Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-dirt-cake.md) - [Flower-Shaped Lemon Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-flower-cookies.md) - [Edible Flower Sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-flowers.md) - [Advanced Baking Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reach-for-the-stars-shaker-cookie-kit.md) - [Floral-Forward Cookie Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floralforward-cookie.md) - [Multisensorial Gourmet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerds-sugar-crush-cookie.md) - [Floral Meringue Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosewater-meringue-cookies.md) - [Edible Flower Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-crackers.md)
