This Cafe is Serving Toast Shaped Like a Unicorn
Mary Van Puymbroeck — June 2, 2017 — Lifestyle
A cafe in Malaysia has started serving unicorn-themed toast.
Its 'Unicorn Berry' is made of a thick piece of charcoal toast topped with marshmallow meringue, berry ice cream, banana, a sugar cone horn and topped with a cloud of cotton candy. The cafe (called Haraju-Cube) is a Japanese-themed establishment specializing in cute desserts. Available starting May 27th for a two-week period, this unicorn-themed toast has been drawing in a number of new clients due to the photogenic nature of the dessert. According to Haraju-Cube's marketing manager, they typically sell between 120-150 servings of the treat in a single day and usually sell out during weekends.
Most of the ingredients (outside of the bamboo charcoal toast) are made in-house. Along with the Unicorn Berry toast, the cafe released a mixed berry flavored 'Magic-Potion' ice cream smoothie.
