Why do brightly colored desserts appear so much tastier than other desserts?
Something about a sweet treat with a vivid hue attracts us more than a typical dish. Perhaps this is because there is an air of mystery around them: what ingredients have caused the food to become this color? Food coloring? Something else? It is all part of the mystery.
Of course, another reason is because, in many cases, bright colors make a dessert appear more attractive. This is definitely the case with pink colored desserts. They just look so adorable and pretty!
Pink desserts are great for a variety of occasions, including girls’ birthday parties, baby showers, gender reveals (alongside blue sweets, of course), Breast Cancer Awareness events, and Valentine’s Day celebrations.
If you’re throwing or attending a party for a girly girl, or if pink is the theme for another reason, these lovely coloured treats should fit right in.
However, there is one drawback to pink desserts: they’re so cute that you might not want to eat them!
