Created by Adrianna Adarme at the blog A Cozy Kitchen, the treats are like a dessert version of a calming cup of tea before bed. Perfect for serving on Mother's Day or if you have a cold, the honey cupcakes are topped with blackberries, fresh nasturtium leaves and organic chamomile leaves. If you want to recreate these [tea-themed treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-infused), you will need four bags of chamomile tea, heavy cream, powdered sugar, salt and unsalted butter for the frosting. The honey-flavored cakes are a mild flavor made with real honey, vanilla extract and sour cream or yogurt among other ingredients. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Tea-flavored Desserts:** Opportunity to create innovative dessert recipes using various tea flavors as ingredients. - **Organic Ingredients:** Opportunity to cater to health-conscious consumers by using organic ingredients in dessert recipes. - **Herbal Buttercream Frosting:** Opportunity to experiment with different herbal flavors in buttercream frostings for unique dessert creations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food & Beverage:** Opportunity for companies in the food and beverage industry to introduce tea-flavored desserts to their menu or product lineup. - **Bakery:** Opportunity for bakeries to offer organic and herbal-infused dessert options to cater to a health-conscious customer base. - **Catering:** Opportunity for catering companies to create innovative chamomile-frosted desserts for special occasions or events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dessert-Flavored Tea Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noncaffeinated-tea-variety-pack.md) - [Fluffy Tea-Flavored Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/early-grey-cloud-cake.md) - [Artisan Tea-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earl-grey-white-chocolate.md) - [Cherry Dessert Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-bakewell-brew.md) - [Tea-Infused Fruity Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teafusions-waffle-cookies.md) - [Delectable Cupcake Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hteao-1.md) - [Playfully Packaged Tea Duos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chamberlain-coffee1.md) - [Botanical Tea Jams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worthy-jams.md) - [Cherry Blossom Crepe Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crepe-cake1.md)
