Springtime is here, which means it’s time to celebrate with seasonal flavors. Here are four scrumptious springtime desserts that you can make in your own kitchen at our Olympus apartments:

Carrot Cake

This carrot cake will surely be a hit at your next party with shredded carrots, walnuts, and a soft cream cheese frosting. You may substitute the white flour for whole wheat flour if desired. For a hint of sweetness, add a teaspoon of pumpkin spice. 

Peeps Sunflower Cake

Use your favorite yellow cake mix to make the base before smothering chocolate frosting between the layers and all over the cake's exterior. Add Peeps on the outer edge of the cake, making sure the beaks are facing outward before topping the whole thing off with semisweet chocolate chips in the center. With moist frosting and brightly colored marshmallow candies, this cake will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Springtime Bunny Bark

This chocolate bark recipe makes for a colorful and fun dessert and is easy to make with only four ingredients. Visit your local grocery store and buy 1-3 varieties of Easter candies to sprinkle over your chocolate base. Next, melt white chocolate waffles in a medium saucepan before covering the candy layer. Finally, add sprinkles for a pop of color. Share it with loved ones, or keep it in the fridge for a long-lasting treat.

Strawberry Shortcake

This classic dessert is perfect for springtime with its juicy, fresh strawberries and Amaretto cream. Strawberry Shortcake has many typical ingredients, such as eggs, flour, and sugar, but it also has more unusual ones, like strawberry syrup and sour cream. For the garnish, add toasted sliced almonds and fresh mint sprigs.
