# Holiday Wreath Donuts These Festive Desserts are Decorated to Look Like Pine Tree Ornaments By M | Published 2015-12-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pine-tree References: [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/diy-holiday-wreath-donuts/) & [brit.co](http://www.brit.co) These decadent holiday desserts are creatively decorated to look like pine tree wreathes that one might see hanging on a house's door during the winter season. These sweets are plain donuts that have been decorated with an expertly placed series of pipping to recreate the aesthetic of leaves. The desserts are made using plain donuts that are covered in green royal icing. The icing is piped in small little teardrop blobs to create the shape of leaves. Then candied red hots are added to represent holy and edible bows to tie the wreath together. These wreath donuts are a simple to make dessert that is much more casual, but equally as delicious and festive for the holidays. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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's Driving This Trend - **Holiday-themed Desserts:** There is a growing trend of creatively decorating desserts to look like holiday decorations, providing an opportunity for bakeries to offer unique and festive treats. - **Piping Techniques:** The use of expertly placed piping techniques to recreate the aesthetic of leaves on desserts is becoming popular, creating opportunities for confectioners to showcase their artistic skills. - **Casual Festive Treats:** The demand for simple and casual desserts that still evoke a festive atmosphere during the holidays presents an opportunity for bakeries to offer more accessible options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bakery:** Bakeries can utilize this trend to create and market holiday-themed desserts, attracting customers looking for unique treats during the festive season. - **Confectionery:** Confectioners can tap into the demand for creatively decorated desserts by showcasing their skills in piping techniques and offering holiday-themed sweets. - **Food Retail:** Food retailers can stock and market casual festive treats like wreath donuts to cater to customers seeking easy and delicious desserts for holiday celebrations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Grinch-Inspired Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-8.md) - [DIY Holiday Donut Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-creations-kit.md) - [Holiday-Ready Donut Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randys-donuts-holiday-menu.md) - [Holiday-Themed Donut Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santas-bake-shop-collection.md) - [Extensive Holiday Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-and-hanukkah-doughnuts.md) - [Decorative Holiday Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specially-selected-ultimate-melting-baubles.md) - [Cheeky Holiday Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkbox-doughnuts-holiday-range.md) - [Holiday Donut Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/let-it-snow.md) - [Indulgent Post-Holiday Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-winter-seasonal-collection.md)
