Every June, millions of people around the world celebrate Pride Month, which uplifts the LGTBQ+ community and honors the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in New York City. From parades to workshops to concerts, this month offers us countless chances to spread the love. Of course, every celebration deserves delicious food: In honor of Pride Month, we're sharing 15 multi-colored dessert recipes that you're sure to love.
If there's one dessert that's practically made for Pride, it's our 12-layer Rainbow Cake. It starts with a large amount of vanilla cake batter—five large egg whites keep the cake super moist and airy. Next, the batter is divided into sections and each dyed with every color of the rainbow. The layers are baked then stacked with a thick layer of our Lemony Swiss Meringue Buttercream between each. When this beauty is sliced, everyone's jaws will drop as they see that delectable rainbow on the inside.
Another great way to decorate your Pride Month desserts is with ombré frosting. Go from light to royal blue, mint green to pine green, or light pink to magenta with just a few drops of food coloring in the buttercream. We have two recipes that make use of this fun, celebratory technique, including our frosted sugar cookies, which will be enjoyed by one and all. Hosting a pride party for a crowd? You'll want to make our Ombré Sheet Cake, which is easy to transport on-the-go and slice up for a festive bunch. Looking for something a bit lighter and gluten free? Our Citrus Salad with Pomegranate Seeds, which is loaded with fresh fruit and bright, juicy flavor, is sure to suit your needs. An eye-catching array of mixed citrus such as clementines, tangerines, grapefruit, and Meyer lemons is colorful and delicious for a Pride month fruit salad.
From our End-of-the-Rainbow Cookies to colorful Baked Cake Donuts, these pride recipes are exactly what you should make and share to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community this month.
