Pop culture desserts are not only a great way to pay homage to beloved works in film and television, but they are also delicious.
Some examples of these desserts are cupcakes with Hello Kitty faces, Sauran from The Lord of the Rings lollipops and chocolate Darth Vader heads. Because of how easy it is to customize these foods, brilliant examples of pop culture desserts have become common. But in most cases, images of the finished product are all that is left to show as they get eaten fast.
Pop culture has impacted everyday life for all of humanity whether we like to admit it or not. Society imitates styles, phrases, actions and in this instance desserts from what we view on television and the big screen.
