Perfect for [Mother's Day gifting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/susiecakes-mothers-day) and springtime snacking occasions beyond, the flower-infused ice cream series shares unique flavors like Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise, made with a hint of orange juice and a secret family of spice blend. Lemon Mari Gold Amaro Sherbet pairs Straightaway Cocktail’s Mari Gold amaro—described as "spring in a glass"—with chunks of light and fluffy homemade lemon marshmallows. Maraschino Cherry with Rainbow Marshmallow Fluff is another ice cream flavor that plays with marshmallows, specifically pink- and blue-colored marshmallow fluff to contrast the deep, dark cherry ice cream base. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 24% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Floral-infused Ice Creams:** Exploring botanical flavors in ice cream creations for a unique and ethereal taste experience. - **Garden-fresh Ingredients:** Incorporating seasonal blooms and herbs into culinary offerings for a fresh and vibrant flavor profile. - **Artisanal Flavor Combinations:** Pairing unexpected ingredients in frozen treats to create innovative and enticing flavor profiles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Embracing floral and herbal elements in products to cater to consumers seeking unique and gourmet taste experiences. - **Hospitality and Restaurant:** Introducing seasonal and artisanal dessert offerings to captivate diners looking for innovative and memorable culinary experiences. - **Retail and Gifting:** Offering specialized floral-inspired treats as giftable items for various occasions, appealing to those looking for distinctive and thoughtfully crafted gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-may-flowers-series.md) - [Flower-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-flowers-series.md) - [Floral Creamsicle Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marigold-dreamsicle-ice-cream.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-summer-pie-series.md) - [Artisan Chocolatier Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straw-chocolatiers-series.md) - [Jammy Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-berries-series.md) - [Vegetal Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-farmers-market-series.md) - [Picnic-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-picnic-series.md) - [Shareable Chocolate Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chocolatiers-series-by-salt-straw.md)
