This particular stunt is by a [culinary student](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baking-social) and artist that decided to make and share a cake on public transit. While on the subway, or any form of public transit, people are usually so focused on their commute that they rarely turn to interact with those around them. When a stranger is found [icing a cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-old-school-cake) on the subway ride, it can disturb the status quo. Culinary student Bettina Behjat Banayan iced a cake very artistically and delicately and handed it out to confused and surprised passengers. As far as subway stunts go, this may be the most delicious one to come out so far. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Commute Interaction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to encourage more social interaction during commutes. - **Public Transit Experience:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to improve the overall experience of using public transportation. - **Unexpected Food Sharing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to bring unexpected food sharing experiences to various public venues. ### Where This Applies - **Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to explore new ways of sharing and consuming food in public places. - **Transportation Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to improve the overall experience of using public transportation through innovative ideas. - **Tourism Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to explore and create unique tourism experiences through unexpected food sharing and social interactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Cardboard-Resembling Illusion Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-cake.md) - [Miniature Sub Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worls-smallest-sub.md) - [Interactive Sandwich Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-billboard.md) - [QSR Holiday Windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-sandwich-elves.md) - [Sparkling Sandwich-Shaped Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baguette-ring.md) - [Multilayer Canned Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-cake.md) - [Lunchtime Yacht Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-on-a-yacht.md)
