Kale Cake

Aquarius, you are always looking to try something new as you like your life full of excitement. Kale cake is the perfect treat that is as unique as you. And, not to mention, your determination can give you the will to finish the questionable slice from Carolina Dining.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Rice Krispie Treats

Pisces, you have probably been told at some point that your head is in the clouds, and these fluffy marshmallow treats can help to take you there. Just like people may use you for your generosity, this dessert which appears to be delicious and crunchy may also be a gummy and greasy letdown.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Blueberry Macaroons

Aries, as a natural leader you only expect the best, and these macaroons, well, they seem like they would be top-notch. But, like your pretentious nature, this questionable fruity treat often falls short as it tries to mesh health with dessert.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Sweet Potato Bread Pudding

Taurus, just like your stubbornness, the stickiness of this caramel covered pudding does not budge (although it may be from your teeth in this case). You have a solid personality just like this staple classic, while the sweet potato adds just a bit of spunk.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Chocolate Vanilla Twist Frozen Yogurt

Gemini, symbol of the twins are known to never like doing anything alone, and in this dessert neither the chocolate nor the vanilla is without the other in each lick. Taking a bite into this cold yogurt while expecting ice cream is not unlike your occasional superficiality.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Cancer, the epitome of unpredictability, yearning for adventure but also valuing security. This cookie embodies your eccentricity with its vegan nature and fun flavor while being a solid option from Carolina Dining every time.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Chai Latte Cheesecake

Leo, you are kind and generous and also have an knack for being the first to participate in each new trend. Your hot tempered but also easy-to-forgive attitude reflects this sweet dessert made from an often scalding and spicy drink.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Parfaits

Virgo, you always do your own thing no matter what people think and the sometimes strange mixtures of ingredients in these parfaits echo that attitude.  Having artificial strawberry mixed in with cream cheese, whipped cream, and a bit of crunch may not sound like strawberry shortcake, but in a parfait it can be whatever it wants.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Peanut Butter Cookies

Libra, you know how there is always that one cookie in the case that you never can tell what the flavor is? Well, it is the peanut butter cookie.  These cookies while usually delicious, it is always a risk because you can never sure what flavor they will be, or what mood they will be in, just like a Libra. 

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Cake Batter Balls

Scorpio, always down to party and you love to be the center of attention, just like these brightly colored, almost toxic looking treats.  Taking a bit out of these reveals a flavor that is as strong and wild as the fun-loving Scorpio.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Churros

Sagittarius, everyone loves you and wants to be your friend, and the second that churros appear in the dining hall, everybody is all over them. However, just as you are often flaky, these churros are rarely served, and when they are, they might be delicious or a soggy letdown. 

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

M&M Cookies

Capricorn, you are primarily recognized for your practicality, and in Carolina Dining, these M&M cookies are nothing but practical. They never fail to deliver on flavor, and their portability makes them a great snack to grab on the go.
