From Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, the month of May is a time for celebration—and what better way to mark these special occasions than with some sweet treats! Whether you're planning a picnic, hosting a party, or just looking for an excuse to bake, we’ve rounded up our favorite desserts to help you celebrate the May milestones.
Cinco de Mayo
Every year on the 5th of May, people all over the world celebrate Mexican culture and heritage as part of Cinco de Mayo! Bright, festive, and full of flavor, this holiday is the perfect excuse to gather friends around for a meal (think: tacos, guacamole, tamales and margaritas!).
For dessert, you can’t go wrong with churros, a tres leches cake or polvorónes—sugar-dusted cookies filled with nuts, similar to our Butter Pecan Meltaways. Grab a tin to help save time in the kitchen!
Spring picnics
With the leaves budding and the flowers blooming, a picnic in your nearest sunny park is a beautiful way to celebrate the return of spring. Gather together your favorite portable snacks—a baguette, cheese and meats, veggies, hummus, fruits, nuts, for example—and let nature be your backdrop.
No picnic is complete without something sweet! Cookies and brownies make perfect picnic treats since they’re handheld and easy to transport. Order one of our Signature Cookie Brownie Assortments for an easy picnic dessert that has something tasty for everyone.
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day (celebrated on the second Sunday of May) is all about honoring the amazing moms and maternal figures in our lives. A delicious brunch is the perfect way to say “thank you” for all they do and let them feel taken care of for a day. You can’t go wrong with a spread of pancakes, bacon, eggs, fruit, and mimosas if you’re feeling fancy! Don’t forget a batch of cookies for a sweet finishing touch—because nothing says love like dessert made with care. If you’re short on time, pop a couple of pieces of our Cookie Dough in the oven for a fresh-baked treat.
Graduation
As the academic year comes to a close, May is the month to celebrate our hard-working, ambitious graduates. After they toss up their cap, greet your grad with a bouquet of flowers and a dessert basket, like our Whimsical Crate, filled with David’s all-time customer favorites: Chocolate Chip Brownies, Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Butter Pecan Meltaways.
Memorial Day
Falling on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day commemorates those who have served our country, and marks the unofficial start of summer. There’s no better way to celebrate Memorial Day than a backyard barbecue with your nearest and dearest. Cut up some watermelon, throw some burgers on the grill, and turn up the tunes. Our Premier Red Velvet Cake or Carnival Cake make for a fun and delicious dessert to serve your guests!
With so many milestones to celebrate, May is a busy time—but David’s has you covered. Browse our website for an assortment of delicious desserts for every occasion, delivered right to your doorstep.
