It seems like lately we live in an Instagrammable unicorn & mermaid everything filled world. Amiright? Why bother getting the coffee if it isn’t pink & topped with candy? Who even wants toast unless it’s swirled with pastel cream cheese? And obviously skip the cheesecake, that is unless it’s cotton candy flavored & marbled in pink & blue… So you’re welcome in advance for this beauty of a dessert that tastes just as good as it looks. Yes, it’s worth every calorie & everyone who tries a bite will instantly love you. For extra fun, we suggest topping it with swirled pink & blue frosting along with some sugar sprinkles because, well, why not!
