Sweet Tips for Spring Showers

Use What’s In Season

April and May bring us tender rhubarb, juicy strawberries, and the first sprigs of mint and basil. These seasonal stars make even fast desserts feel elevated and gourmet.

Involve the Kids

Quick and easy desserts are a great rainy day indoor activity for children. Let them whisk the cream, layer trifles, or decorate cookies with colorful sprinkles and edible flowers.

Keep It Cozy

Light a spring candle (think rain or lilac scents!), throw on some soft jazz or lo-fi beats, and turn your kitchen into the coziest baking nook this side of the storm cloud.
