Why Pink?

When putting together this post I just couldn't help thinking: what makes pink so special, anyway? The color pink is usually seen as a youthful, feminine color, but it can be so much more! Pastel pink makes you think spring and new babies, while a hot pink give more romantic, passionate vibes. Many use the color pink to spread breast cancer awareness.

No matter what particular feelings you're trying to evoke with your food, pink is definitely a positive color. Research has shown that paining pink on the walls of prison facilities has a calming effect on its residents. Who knew color could be so powerful? While pink isn't my favorite color, reading up on it a bit has me considering it's merits.

Occasions for Pink Desserts

You definitely don't need a special occasion to make (and enjoy!) any of these pink desserts, but here are a few to consider:

• Birthday parties
• Baby and Bridal Showers
• Gender reveal parties
• Anniversaries
• Valentine's Day
• Breast cancer awareness event
• Anytime you need a splash of color!
