These cupcakes by Abarca Cakes recreate the characters from the How to Train Your Dragon 2 film with such precision that it's hard to believe that they're entirely edible. These cupcakes begin with a decadent [chocolate or vanilla base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smores-cupcake-cups) and a creamy layer of sugar-filled icing. Each cupcake comes with a different character top made completely from sculpted colored fondant. Some of the characters featured include Astrid, the sheep, Hiccup and Toothless. The Toothless cupcakes are especially striking as they capture the scaly body and beady eyes of this cute black dragon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Fantasy Confectionaries:** Opportunities to create unique and intricate confectionaries that tap into the world of fantasy and popular media. - **Edible Sculptures:** Innovation potential for creating detailed edible sculptures using fondant and other edible materials. - **Themed Food Products:** Increasing demand for themed food products that celebrate popular media and cultural events. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Bakeries can tap into the demand for innovative and intricate confectionaries that capture the essence of popular media. - **Film and Entertainment:** Opportunities for companies in the film and entertainment industry to partner with food companies to create themed food products. - **Event Planning:** As demand for themed food products increases, event planning companies can provide their clients with unique and memorable catering options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fantastical Fast Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-train-your-dragon-menu.md) - [Movie-Inspired Dragon Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toothless-model.md) - [Dual-Flavor Movie-Inspired Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-celebration-cake.md) - [Lunar Celebration Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragon-collection.md) - [Animated Movie-Themed Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-cakebites.md) - [Character-Dessert Collab Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-baguette-kpop-demon-hunters.md) - [Frosting-Filled Chocolate Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupcake-cups.md) - [Distinctive Dragon-Themed Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distinctive-dragonthemed-books-dragonborn-features-illustrative-end-pages-a.md) - [Color-Changing Marshmallow Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-charms-hidden-dragon.md)
