It’s Not All Rainbows and Bagels?
Oh New York, you never cease to amaze me.
Hey food explorers, it’s Jamie back with another jaw-dropping, sugar-shocking update from my “Weird Food Creations” journey—and this one is straight from the heart of Brooklyn.
NYC is known for bagels, but I wasn’t ready for this bagel. Imagine a swirly, bright rainbow bagel, sliced open and stuffed with—you guessed it—birthday cake cream cheese. Yep. Rainbow outside, frosting-flavored filling inside. A unicorn breakfast, basically.
What Is It?
This psychedelic creation comes from a real Brooklyn bagel shop that went viral for turning breakfast into a sugar-fueled fever dream. The bagel itself is twisted with vibrant neon colors—hot pink, electric blue, neon green—and baked just like any classic NYC bagel.
Inside? A thick schmear of cream cheese that tastes exactly like Funfetti frosting. We're talking sweet, whipped, and loaded with rainbow sprinkles.
What Did It Taste Like?
Imagine a donut and a bagel had a party in your mouth. The bagel had a normal texture—chewy, bready, a little salty—but your brain gets confused the moment the sweet cream cheese hits. It’s dessert pretending to be breakfast, and honestly, I was into it.
I got stares eating it on the subway, but I had zero regrets. It was like eating a cartoon.
How to Recreate It
Find a plain bagel (bonus points if you dye the dough yourself—good luck 😅)
Whip up your own “birthday cake cream cheese”: mix softened cream cheese with a splash of vanilla, powdered sugar, and rainbow sprinkles
Spread it thick, post it to your socials, and prepare for DM chaos
New York is full of flavor surprises, but this one felt like a glitter bomb of happiness. Would I eat it again? Yes. Would I serve it at my next birthday party? Absolutely.
Stay wild, stay weird,
Jamie 💫
