I’m in love with bees because of the sweet honey they bring. But how I hate their painful stings!
That said, I have more appreciation than fear towards hardworking bees, especially come spring when they are at their busiest! To honor them create spring sweets designed like bees, like fancy honey macarons!
6. Pistachio Mousse Filled Cookie Cups

Cookie cups are the best spring desserts because you won’t only get a chewy cookie, but a nutty pistachio filling!
I would eat the outer parts of the cookie first then leave the center for last for that nutty, creamy delight.

Got overripe bananas and an intense craving for coffee? Hit two birds with one stone, creating a banana cake with coffee cream cheese frosting!
No need to have a cup of joe with your dessert (though if you’re like me, I still have one for that extra caffeine kick).

I would have never thought of having sandwiches as a sweet ending, much less serve them as spring-themed desserts!
But the Japanese cuisine has proved me wrong with a refreshing sandwich loaded with rich cream and strawberries for a touch of spring.
