A little pink never hurt anyone right? Her Campus already has a handle on representing the superb color of pink, but this month pink will be much more prominent in the community because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! While wearing some form of pink everyday this month is great, here is another fun, creative way to raise awareness: food. Seems pretty simple right? But what better way to call attention to this disease that affects thousands of women than putting your baking skills to use and creating some fun and festive pink foods? Here are 5 pink foods in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month that are sure to raise awareness and your taste buds.

1. Cherry Lemonade Doughnuts

This fun twist on a classic doughnut will make you forget about those other sweets you already had today.

2. Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes

The name itself is enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

3. Pink Lemonade Popcorn

Popcorn mixed with pink lemonade frosting? What could be better?

4. Watermelon Sorbet

Pretty, dainty, and light. Perfect for an afternoon snack or a sweet dessert.

5. Pink Sugar Cookies

Let’s face it: Everything is prettier in pink and simple cookies are no exception.
