If you're like me and fashion and food are your two favorite things, then this W May 2013 editorial will satisfy both your style and meal-time hunger.

Featuring a dessert theme paired with [regal fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-x-milano-handbag), the Patrick Demarchelier shot series is a sweet and colorful collection of images. Models Ondria Hardin, Juliana Schurig, Elena Bartels and Zoe Colivas all have their manes done up in a style that looks more like the [top of a cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-dores) than a head of hair. One image even features a cream top which looks exactly like the icing surrounding a cake.

Sweetly satisfying without the potential of giving you any cavities, this W May 2013 photo shoot is a definite must-see for that cherry on top of your magazine meal.
