If you are looking for a fun, popular trend, a woodland forest theme is a great way to go. You can decorate your cake with chocolate buttercream to give it the look of wood or green to give it the look of grass. You can then sculpt woodland creatures, such as bears, foxes, squirrels, racons, and porcupines, out of fondant or marzipan.
If you aren’t up to crafting your own animals, you can buy woodland toppers. You can also crumble chocolate cake to make it look like dirt on your cake.
