21 Spring Treats to Showcase at Your Next Party

Zucchini-Carrot Cake

This moist and tasty treat is a cross between zucchini bread and carrot cake—and looks like a springy carrot patch.

Peach Macarons

Peaches come in season at the very end of spring, and these look-a-like macarons are one of the best ways to celebrate their return. Spread a little bit of peach jam between two cookies, then add a mint leaf so the cookies look like they came straight from the peach tree. These spring treats look even more like juicy peaches with a light brush of orange food coloring.

Rainbow Fruit Pizza

Spring showers bring May flowers, but they can also bring stunning rainbows. Make this cute spring dessert to instantly brighten any rainy day. Stir together sugar cookie dough for the rainbow-shape base, then cover with cream cheese frosting and an assortment of fresh fruit.

Bird's Nest Cupcakes

A chow mein noodle "nest" and candy-coated chocolate eggs make these citrus-sour cream cakes the perfect spring dessert to hatch right around Easter. Time-crunched?

Easy Flower Macarons

Macaron recipes are fun any time of year, but you can turn them into a cute spring dessert by piping them in flower shapes instead of plain circles.
