The top dessert trend of 2010 is:

Caramel Corn Cupcakes:  You can’t simply miss the richness of chocolate cupcakes adorned with golden buttery-sweet caramel corn and dark chocolate butter cream frosting, drenched in chocolate and caramel sauce. This is one of the elegant trend amongst dessert trends of 2010.

Waffles and Ice cream dessert:  The year 2010 saw the waffle cone getting an elegant makeover.  You can easily prepare it at home by sandwiching strawberry and vanilla ice cream between the waffles. And round it off by topping it with hot chocolate or hot fudge sauce.

Popcornsicle:  We can say this is one of the creative dessert trends of 2010, which was actually introduced during the Taste of Chicago Fest held in summer of 2009, but gained much popularity in 2010. Popcornsicle is nothing but a popcorn ball rolled on a stick, which is flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Beer Dessert Bar: California is under the spell of beer culture.  Beer dessert bar is nothing but quirky beer topped with an ice cream.  You can enjoy two types of beer dessert bars at Essex Public house in Hollywood.  One is the Blueberry Bomber, made with chocolate ice cream and Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat Ale and Espresso Biru with Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout, vanilla ice cream and crumbled Oreos. This is one of the amazing dessert trends of 2010.
