What Dessert You Should Eat on Valentine’s Day, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Mich chapter.

I’m always overwhelmed by dessert options. This Valentine’s Day, I know I’ll definitely be left alone at the end of the night with only dessert to comfort me. When you can’t have your cake (or cookies, or pie) and eat it, too, just choose a dessert based on your zodiac sign. 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 8): Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookie

Libras are hopeless romantics and crave balance in their lives. They also have very expensive taste (hence the rose macarons).
