While some sweets are off the list of summer and travel-friendly picnic desserts, many other treats will equally satisfy your sweet tooth and round out your food selection beautifully. Classic picnic desserts that don’t need refrigeration such as pastries, cakes and cookies are the ideal go-to option. You can bake them the day before your picnic, and they will still taste fresh and flavorful.
Our Favorite Portable Picnic Desserts
Whether you’re picnicking at the beach, lakefront, park, or in your backyard, select a portable dessert that is easy to transport, gives generous portions and tastes delicious. With our family, the grandkids and kids always enjoy finding a nice spot to enjoy a beautiful day. We like to get a variety of items to satisfy everyone’s taste buds!
Cookies
Brownies
Brownies are also another great alternative to cookies as they provide you with a thick, chewy and chocolaty treat. Portion out your brownies and wrap in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container for an easy, on-the-go treat.
Picnic Cakes
If you can’t resist a good cake for a picnic dessert then opt for ones that don’t need refrigeration. Danish Crown, Dream and Coffee cakes are perfect for meeting these criteria, and our wide selection of flavors means you can have a different cake at every summer picnic gathering. The generous portions mean you can cut enough slices for everyone, making our cakes the perfect crowd-pleasing dessert, then sit back and appreciate the fine tastes of fruit, almond, vanilla, or cinnamon. If chocolate is more to your liking, you can order our delicious bread pudding style Dark Chocolate Croissant Pie that will have your picnic partners wanting more.
