National Eat Dessert First Month

National Eat Dessert First Month takes place throughout August and invites people to make desserts the focus of the month. A 2012 post described 31 daily themes, including raspberry cream pie, ice cream sandwiches, root beer floats, s’mores, peach pie, and banana splits, among others. The list also included a few broader food themes, such as Watermelon Day and Trail Mix Day. The post’s complete daily observance list offers a sweet idea for every day of August.

The same post proposed treating the month as a community baking challenge, with participants choosing one or more themes and sharing their results. It presented the idea as a way to enjoy baking, connect with others, and try a dessert—or another featured food—that had been waiting for a special occasion.

How to Observe National Eat Dessert First Month

Celebrate by choosing a theme from the August daily observance list, enjoying that food before the rest of the meal, or preparing it yourself. Share your creation with friends or invite others to join you in trying a different theme throughout the month.
