Have you heard of “chaos cakes” before? If not, we’re about to blow your mind. Pinterest says that these wildly decorated cakes are going to be all over our social feeds in 2025, and honestly, we’re so ready for it. Perfection is over, people. Chaos is about to reign.
Chaos cakes are exactly what they sound like — cakes that are decorated with no rhyme or reason, or cakes that are totally out of the realm of “normal” decoration. The super realistic “is it cake?” trend may have come and gone. Now cakes are not only definitely cake but they’re also fascinating to look at in an entirely different way.
“Pristine icing and perfect piping? So yesterday,” the Pinterest Trend Report reads. “In 2025, Boomers and Gen X go all in on silly cakes, funny cakes, and rat cakes (yes, that’s a thing). These sweet treats are unafraid to be brutally themselves. And the wackier, the better!”
A few of the trending search results that point to chaos cakes becoming a thing in 2025 include “funny cakes for friends,” “silly cakes,” “celeb crush cakes,” and “funny bento cake design.” And seriously, “rat cake” is trending, too.
We can see chaos cakes already entering the mainstream with “hear me out” cake videos blowing up on TikTok. These cakes are decorated with celebrities and fictional characters that the people in the video find attractive. These videos are hilarious, oddly (…questionably…?) relatable, and are racking up millions and millions of views.
And funky decorated cakes have been around for years, so it’s so exciting that Pinterest predicts that they’ll finally have their time to shine. Just look at how fun and whimsical this chaotic cake from Francesa (@fearthefeast) is!
Keep your eyes glued to your social feeds, cake lovers. Chaos is about to hit (and in the best, most positive way possible!).
