The world is full of mouthwatering treats, but making one yourself is a totally different story. Who has time to make delicious, adorable baked goods when life is throwing you lemons and spiky pineapples and whatever else you can think of, anyway?

But before you throw away the chance to make something unbelievably cute and yummy, watch this Pikachu Roll Cake tutorial. Just watch it.

Just the thought of a Pikachu roll cake is amazing in itself, but to know that it can actually exist in real life (and that you can eat one) brings tears to our eyes. And thanks to YouTuber Rosanna Pansino, baking one has never looked easier.

No special ingredients are necessary, save for some food coloring and a Pikachu template.

Decorating Batter Ingredients:

・(7) Tablespoons Butter

・(3/4) Cup Powdered Sugar

・(1) Cup Flour

・(3) Eggs

・(1) Red Food Coloring

・(1) Black Food Coloring

・(1) Yellow Food Coloring

Roll Cake Ingredients:

・(1/2) Cup Flour

・(1/2) Cup Sugar

・(4) Eggs

・(1/4) Cup Hershey's Cocoa Powder

・(4) Tablespoons Butter or Margarine

Making it doesn’t seem too hard, especially since Pansino explains each step as simply as possible. All you really have to do is:
