If you've ever been drinking a Frappuccino and thought, "I wish this tasted like cake," your dreams have just come true.

For five days starting on March 26, Starbucks will be offering a birthday cake-flavored Frap in honor of the drink's 20th birthday.

The drink was born of a desire to quench thirst in Los Angeles in the hot summer of 1995, said Dina Campion of the company's digital team. The Frappuccino was inspired by similar blended drink creations from smaller coffee shops, Campion said.

So what's in the Birthday Cake Frappuccino? The drink is vanilla bean and hazelnut, topped with raspberry-infused whipped cream. Starbucks doesn't list this drink's calorie count on its site, but similar Frappuccinos have around 400 calories.

What does it look like? Of course the whipped cream is pink.

If you're excited, you're not the only one.

If you decided you might need to fit in an extra workout to earn those million calories, you still wouldn't be the only one.

And if you already bought one in the first morning they were offered, go ahead and post your review online. We want to hear how it tastes!

The offer ends March 30.
