I’ve been wanting to make a Pocky cake since forever ago! I this they are the cutest cakes in the universe. If you guys haven’t noticed, I’m a huge anime nerd. If you’ve watched any anime in your life you would know what a Pocky is. For those of you who don’t know a Pocky is a cookie biscuit dipped in chocolate. They’re super yummy!
