Macarons, already a wonderful magical dessert, just got an upgrade. Unicorn Macarons are brought to us by Mac Lab Bakery, featuring the fluffy cookie with a majestic horn.

For the unicorn purists, the requisite colors of the rainbow are made possible with Fruity Pepples… which also have magical powers before they get soggy in milk. True story.

Unless you’re just not into yuletide cheer and cookies with gumdrop buttons. It’s understandable, we make ninjas instead.
