a birthday cake with letters on top

Birthday cake has always been one of my favorite desserts (chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, please), but after my birthday celebration last weekend, I have to admit there’s a new entrant into the birthday dessert game: the Most Promiscuous Brownie (MPB).

Nearly everything on board from the amenity kits to the toilet paper gets branded with Sanrio’s friendliest little cat and people go crazy for it.
