Quite obviously inspired by the Chappell Roan banger, Pink Pony Fudge is the kind of treat that refuses to be subtle. This bubblegum-flavored beauty is a swirl of pink and blue, like cotton candy clouds drifting across an azure sky.

In the interest of full transparency, I confess that I stopped attending Halloween costume parties about 20 years ago. The reason for this is three-fold:
That said, I have an overabundance of admiration (read: jealousy) for the amazing Cosplayers who go out of their way to make fan conventions like New York Comic Con and Anime NYC such over-the-top hits! Seriously, without all these passionate fans impeccably dressed as their favorite characters from Anime, Comics, Movies and Manga, the experience wouldn’t be nearly as head-spinning.
