This gradiated cake will make you need to change your metaphorical pants

Shh. No talking. Let’s just quietly bask in the sweet visual deliciousness of this green-to-blue gradiated cake. You can call it ombre if you’re into that kind of thing, I’m just going to call it the most gorgeous thing I’ve seen today, and go change my metaphorical pants, which I may have just metaphorically soiled.
