If there's one thing B Laban has in excess (besides pistachios), it's the ability to weaponise sugar. Just when you think they've hit dessert detonation, they roll out something even more 'creative' - because Egypt's dessert arms race waits for no one.
Enter the Boba Cheese Bomb: a red velvet French cake slathered in Philadelphia cream cheese, then drowned - yes, drowned - in boba pearls that burst like sugar-charged landmines. It's unholy, it's unstable, and it's peak B Laban: a maximalist fever dream engineered to overwhelm your pancreas and your dignity.
