Why Spring Blossoms Belong in Your Desserts

Spring is a season of renewal, and what better way to celebrate than with desserts that feel light, floral, and fresh? From cherry blossom to lavender and elderflower, the delicate flavors of spring flowers can transform even the simplest fast desserts into an unforgettable treat.

Seasonal Fact:

In Japan, the tradition of Hanami (flower viewing) revolves around cherry blossom season. It's a time for reflection, picnics, and — yes — sweet treats made with sakura (cherry blossom) flavors!

Quick and Easy Spring Dessert Tips

Infuse floral flavor using syrups or teas — they mix beautifully into whipped creams, glazes, and frostings.
Use edible flowers like violets or pansies as an elegant topping — no extra prep required.
