1 – No-bake Candy Diamond Ring Cake – Now That’s Peachy lets us in on a clever DIY cake hack: use store-bought items! Nothing is made from scratch, just assembled to resemble a big diamond ring—using store-bought sponge cream cake, chocolate balls, chocolate swirls, mini meringues, candy sugar hearts, and a tub of premade frosting.
2 – Mini No Bake Wedding Cakes – From Shaken Together (featured on The Crafting Chicks), this recipe also uses ready-made frozen pound cake. Cookie cutters in 3 sizes create the tiny tiers. Just stack, frost, and top with sprinkles!
3 – Strawberry Cheesecake Cups – Sure to be a pretty addition to your bridal shower dessert spread. This recipe from Key to My Lime features layers of whipped cream, strawberry jam, a cream cheese-sour cream filling, and an easy graham cracker crust served in little glass jars.
4 – Easy No Bake Cake Pops – Wholly Tasteful assures us this recipe is much easier than making traditional cake pops. No special equipment needed or to clean up afterwards. Plus these festive treats are naturally gluten-free and refined sugar free.
5 – Easy Coffee Jelly – Perfect as a cold summer dessert, this combo of coffee-flavored jelly and a sweet cream sauce comes courtesy of Yummy.ph. You can adjust the sweetness or bitterness of the coffee flavor, and make the jelly ahead to chill overnight in the fridge.
6 – Bubblegum Cheesecake – This might look like a sugar overload (and it is!). Imagine a cream cheese mixture with actual gumballs in it, over a graham cracker crust. Then coated with neon pink frosting. A sure party hit, according to My Incredible Recipes!
