the small pleasures: rainbow chip icing




Who else likes Rainbow Chip icing? For me, it's a memory from childhood, and I think that's why I like it so much. A few years ago, when I lived Stateside, I remember looking for the Rainbow Chip, aka. funfetti, icing, but found that it no longer existed. I was heartbroken. It's like a bit of my childhood had been taken away.


Moving here, I found my childhood, well a small piece of it: Rainbow Chip Icing. Ok, this is different from the most recent stuff I've seen in the States, which they pose as "rainbow chip" aka, funfetti, but this is the real deal that I've found here. The stuff with the little wax balls of color amongst the vanilla icing, and not just vanilla icing where you add sprinkles, which is what I've been very disappointed to find when I've looked in the States.

Anywho, it's one of life's small pleasures. I bought this can about two weeks ago. I've been watching it sit on my shelf, wondering when would be a worthy time to open it. I decided today. I ate a spoonful, yes, just the icing. I will continue to do so until it is gone!

YUMMMMMIE!
