Eat Dessert First Week

Eat Dessert First Week is a seven-day observance that encourages putting dessert before the rest of the meal. It takes place annually from May 1 through May 7, offering a full week to enjoy cakes, pastries, pies, ice cream, candy, or any other favorite sweet.

Dessert is usually served after a meal; the word comes from the French desservir, meaning “to clear the table.” This week playfully turns that familiar order upside down. No founder or origin is identified in the supplied event information, so the focus remains simple: enjoy dessert first and make each day a little sweeter.

How to Observe Eat Dessert First Week

Celebrate by choosing a favorite dessert and enjoying it before your meal. Try a different sweet each day, prepare something at home, or share desserts with family, friends, or coworkers. You can also make the week more adventurous by sampling a treat you have never tried before—or inventing a dessert of your own.
