😍 Why We’re Obsessed

🌀 It’s January. It’s cold. It’s grey.
🍰 But then — BAM! — these little sprinkle-studded joy bombs enter the chat.
🎯 One look and your winter blues start melting away.

🎂 Backstory (with a Dash of Drama)

I found this recipe while snooping through my sister’s Pinterest (she pinned my 🎉 Blue Bear Birthday Cake), and let’s just say:
All my baking plans? Canceled.
These rainbow bites got promoted to priority status... and can you blame me?

🥶 Real Talk: January Sucks

🧊 Post-holiday gloom
📉 Nothing to look forward to
⚖️ Oh, and we're on a DIET 🙄

Tried Weight Watchers again... quit in 2 days.
Now we’re on MyFitnessPal (better, but let’s be honest — dieting still sucks).
