# Epic X-Men Confections The Wolverine Cake by Kimberly Chapman is as Awesome as it Sounds By Chalaine Mantha | Published 2011-03-18 | Updated 2011-03-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-cake References: [walyou](http://walyou.com/wolverine-xmen-cake/) & [kimberlychapman](http://kimberlychapman.com/crafts/cakes/2011-feb26-wolverinecake.html) Kimberly Chapman has created what she likes to call the [Wolverine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-christmas-merry) Fangirl Ultra-Cake for her entry in the 2011 That Takes the Cake contest. The Wolverine cake took a lot of work, time and dedication; it ended up taking second place. Before she started to make the cake, she had to create a plan, which entailed making everything out of Styrofoam. The Wolverine cake is equipped with Wolverine and his claws, a tiny fan essay written on the base and a crumpled-up [X-Men suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmen-97-fireside) that lays beside its owner. Kimberly Chapman created a photoblog that chronicles the timeline of the Wolverine cake. The pictures of Logan's face before it was finished look so creepy! I think that Kimberly Chapman could possibly be the biggest Wolverine fan in the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fan-made Confections:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the fan community and create unique and personalized confections based on popular characters. - **Photoblogging Food Art:** Businesses can leverage the trend of sharing visually appealing food creations online to showcase their own innovative and artistic confections. - **Styrofoam Cake Prototypes:** Designers and cake artists can explore the use of Styrofoam prototypes to plan and execute intricate cake designs with better precision and efficiency. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery and Confectionery:** Innovative bakeries can produce fan-related confections that cater to the interests of specific communities and fanbases. - **Food Photography:** Opportunity for food photographers and stylists to capture visually stunning images of unique and creative confections for marketing and promotional purposes. - **Event Planning and Design:** Event planners can incorporate custom-designed confections as part of their themed events to enhance the overall experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-wolverine1.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-and-wolverine-1.md) - [Cinematic Superhero Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digiorno-and-marvel-studios.md) - [Superhero Headquarter Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmansion.md) - [Mutant Superhero Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-gin-bottle.md) - [Cinematic QSR Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-best-bubs-burgers.md) - [Dual-Flavor Movie-Inspired Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-celebration-cake.md) - [Collectible Cosplay Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ketchup-and-mustard.md) - [Balloon Dog Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dog-cake.md)
