It’s a special day today so here’s a special way to celebrate. Pink is the color of love and what better way can it be to express love in a sweetest form than to make a pink dessert. The color pink reminds me of a poem by Karlen …. Pink is love, Pink is life, Feelings of trust, Day and night. Pink will be there through the toughest of times, when you’re all alone, and afraid to cry. No matter what has happened, pink helps mend broken hearts, when they’re in two pieces and were torn apart.
