Unicorn Day

Ramona Susan's Bakeshop
www.ramonasusansbakeshop.com
Prices vary (cakes require at least 24 hours notice for delivery)

There's a holiday for everything – including, apparently, unicorns. Celebrate the whimsical mythological creature with an equally whimsical (but decidedly REAL!) Rainbow Unicorn Cake from this online bakery. The cakes are being sold in two different sizes and consist of rainbow cake slathered in strawberry buttercream icing that's then sprinkled with glitter and topped with a candy unicorn. Oh, and there are also cupcake versions of the larger Unicorn Cakes. Quite frankly, if these aren't the confections of your childhood dreams I don't know what to tell you.

If you can't treat yourself to a vacation, at least you can treat your taste buds to one. Caribbean Cuisine Week is happening throughout Philly right now, and more than a dozen local restaurants are offering deals on scrumptious tastes of the islands. Even better? Funds raised will go towards bringing athletes from Caribbean countries like Trinidad and Jamaica to Philadelphia for the upcoming Penn Relays.
