Every year has its own baking trends, so we rounded up the top 5 desserts of the year that have been present at every reunion and bakery! 

These include cakes, cookies, vegan sweets, and confections that people can't stop talking about. Let´s check them out! 

1. Plant-based desserts 

These kinds of desserts are made with easy-to-get ingredients, innovating with plant-based ingredients helps bakers help more people indulge in their favorite delicacies. 

Some examples are:

2. Dessert boards 

Sweet platters or dessert boards bring together a delicious variety of small sweets, from candy to chocolate-covered fruit to mini cupcakes and more, so you can try a little bit of everything. Fun, right?  

The design of your platter is also important, since it has to look appealing and balanced so everybody can appreciate every dessert.  

They’re very popular at baby showers, holiday reunions and weddings. 

Be sure to incorporate cute, exciting treats like:

Remember, these have to be in miniature or individual size. 

3. Spicy desserts  

Some people might think that spices such as black pepper don’t belong in desserts, but the truth is that spices like pepper can be a wonderful addition to jams and preserves, as well as dessert sauces and cookies, to really give them an extra punch. 

Experiment with anise, chipotle, turmeric and rosemary to take your baking experience to a new level and make your creations unique.
