The Crumbl [Pink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-velvet-cake) Velvet Heart Cake has been added to the brand's rotating menu as the perfect dessert to pick up in anticipation of Mother's Day that prioritizes admiration and sweetness. The treat features a pink velvet cake that's positioned firmly between conventional [red velvet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-salad-chick-red-velvet-cake) and vanilla to work well for consumers who aren't a fan of chocolate. The cake is shaped into a heart and topped with a vanilla cream cheese frosting along with a finishing sprinkle of pink cake crumbs.

The Crumbl Pink Velvet Heart Cake is on the menu alongside the [Cookies & Cream Cheesecake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-chocolate-raspberry-cheesecake), Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookie, Biscoff White Chip Cookie and Mom's Recipe Cookie. The various items are ideal for picking and mixing for Mother's Day celebrations.
