It’s safe to say that the world has collectively flipped out over Starbucks’ limited edition Unicorn Frappucino, but this isn’t the first time we’ve fallen victim to gimmicky marketing campaigns featuring foods with rainbow colors. (And if we had to bet money on it, this certainly won’t be the last.)
In protest of ROYGBIV and in support of those who may be color blind, we’ve decided to round up some classic dessert recipes to celebrate the world in black and white. No artificial dyes, no mythical creatures, just good, ol’ fashioned indulgences that always satisfy the sweet tooth. Scroll down to check them out!

2. Christmas Coconut Cake
