This Big Ball Confetti Ice Cubes DIY by blogger Subtle Revelry teaches you how to make your own bubbly drink chillers. The spherical ice cubes are actually chilled in small water balloons. Choose [food coloring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-top-glass) of your choice to add a couple drops to color the ice cubes. The full pictorial and further instructions are posted on the Subtle Revelry blog. The colorful ice balls are pretty by themselves or stacked in a tall glass. The only thing I would be skeptical about is the food dye melting and infusing with the color of the drink. It takes a bit of color mixing to figure out a solution that won't turn your drink black. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Ice Cube Designs:** Opportunity for businesses to develop innovative DIY ice cube molds and designs. - **Colorful Drink Enhancements:** Businesses can explore innovative ways to add colors and flavors to drinks using edible ingredients. - **Personalized Party Accessories:** Opportunity for businesses to create customizable party accessories, like personalized ice cubes, to enhance the party experience. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create unique and visually appealing ice cube products. - **Entertainment and Events:** Event planning companies can offer customized ice cube designs as part of their party services. - **Kitchenware and Home Decor:** Businesses can develop and sell specialized ice cube molds and accessories for home use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cuttting-Edge Sphere Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-makers.md) - [Stylish Ice Molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets.md) - [Star-Shaped Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-shaped-ice-cubes.md) - [Pre-Infused Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infused-ice-cube.md) - [Floral-Infused Cocktail Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infused-cocktail-cubes.md) - [Star-Shaped Beer Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-ice-cube.md) - [Cooling Beer Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beercubes1.md) - [Bitters-Infused Cocktail Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-cubes.md) - [Craft Coffee Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-ice-cube.md)
