Shared Bites 

The trend of bite-sized versions of delicious food continues, and we aren’t mad about it. You can’t go wrong with miniature foods full of flavor, whether served as appetizers or as a surprising, sharable entree!

Flower Inspired Cakes 

We’ve seen so many yummy sugar flowers, hand-painted floral designs and gorgeous bloom-inspired cake details this year – they almost look too good to eat! All of these sweet adornments were seen in the pages of the 2017 issues, and it is an ongoing trend everyone is using!
