The cake, which was entered in Threadless’ Threadcakes competition, is infused with [cinnamon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-cemetery-box) and took approximately five days to make and decorate. The design the baker based it on was the "God Save the Villain" tee. In her interpretation, though, she originally thought the red along the Joker's lip was dye from the icing. Adding a [cupcake with a red frosting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbs-colossal-cupcake) and giant bite taken out of it, Latimer added a unique twist. The Threadcakes design was the perfect execution in detail and in interpretation. Through her work, Latimer has managed to add a unique twist on her Threadcakes entry. **Implications** - Companies who offer [unique design competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermoist) have an advantage over others. By doing this, they create a public relations campaign that engages their fans and attracts a niche audience that would not necessarily be a fan of the work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Design Competitions:** Online competitions with unique design challenges to create a PR campaign and attract a niche audience. - **Custom Cake Decorating:** Bakers creating unique, creepy cakes with intricate designs. - **Pop Culture-inspired Confections:** Bakers and confectioners creating sweet treats inspired by popular culture icons and symbols. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Bakeries specializing in creating custom, intricate cakes for events. - **PR and Marketing:** Companies offering design competitions as a way to create buzz and attract a niche audience. - **Entertainment:** Pop culture and media companies partnering with bakers to create confections inspired by their properties and characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Themed Cake Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/among-us-impostor-cake.md) - [Ghoulish Halloween Cake Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-cloud-cake.md) - [Monstrous Ice Cream Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchie-munchie-monster-cake.md) - [Creepy Candy-Filled Mini Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bundtlet-full-o-reeses-pieces.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Layered Horror-Comedy Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuicethemed-afterlife-cake.md) - [Artisan-Quality Halloween Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tous-les-jours-spooky-delights.md) - [Expansive Spooky Dessert Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolas-bakery.md) - [Spooky Seasonal Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tour-les-jours.md)
