PINK DELISH
How did pink become a “girl color?” And is it still just for girls? We don’t know how or why. And in our quest for gender equality and respect for whatever identity suits you, we think pink is for whoever loves it. So, girls, boys and non-binaries, if pink makes you happy, we bet you’ll love the beautiful pink treats we’ve gathered here.
Pink food is party food, whether its for a crowd or a personal celebration. We have 10 exceptional beauties to tempt you here.
Some pretty pink comes from roses, some from berries, some from beets, some from grapefruits, some from rhubarb, some from peppercorns, some from pomegranates… and so, you see, it’s not just about the beauty of the color, it’s about the delicate flavor of pink as well.
Feast your eyes on this incredible, Pink Ombre Rose Cake, by Meriem, from Culinary Couture. These voluptuous pink roses were made by lightly swirling and spiraling pink frosting onto a rich chocolate cake. We love the ombre effect for different levels of Beautiful Pink!
