The DIY desert veggie kabob recipe comes from the Sugar & Cloth blog and you can actually make your own kabobs by following the recipe. Essentially all you have to do is get a set of edible markers and recreate images of [slices of vegetables on macarons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-farmers-market-series). Start by creating a tomato slice with a red marker and run it around the edge of a pink macaron. Before the marker dries you can blend it with your finger. Add segment parts, seeds and blend a bit more until it looks just like a tomato. You can repeat these easy guidelines with all kinds of other veggies like cucumber and onion. Pierce a few different [macarons onto a kabob stick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubaistyle-chocolate-mac-pops) and they are ready to be served. These cute veggie dessert kabobs are great for theme parties, barbecues or other gathers where delicious food is involved. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Marker Desserts:** Using edible markers to create realistic designs on desserts like vegetables. - **DIY Dessert Kabobs:** Creating dessert kabobs by skewering macarons decorated like vegetables. - **Theme Party Desserts:** Using visually appealing desserts like veggie kabobs for themed events. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity to develop and market edible markers specifically designed for dessert decoration. - **Baking and Pastry:** Opportunity to create pre-made macarons with edible marker-ready surfaces. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity to offer unique and visually appealing dessert options for themed parties and gatherings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutritionally Enhanced Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1.md) - [Veggie-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-you-crave.md) - [Savory Veggie Croquettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croqcoulis.md) - [Veggie-Shaped Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peas-carrots-sour-gummy-candies.md) - [Macaron-Made Dessert Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-cookie-mac-pops.md) - [Confectionary-Inspired Chalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-macaron-sidewalk-chalk.md) - [Globally Inspired Plant-Based Macarons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmore.md) - [Rich Chocolate-Enrobed Macarons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dipped-macarons.md) - [Vegetable-Forward Macaroni Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermac.md)
