A radiant golden pour topped with a pillowy white head sets the stage for aromas of sugared vanilla, marshmallow cream, and delicate bakery frosting. The first sip reveals a gentle, mouthwatering tartness that quickly gives way to soft, creamy sweetness.

The balance of acidity and confectionery richness creates a flavor harmony reminiscent of classic snack cakes, playful yet polished, indulgent yet refreshing.
