It’s that sneaky time between the end of winter and beginning of spring when everyone is fed up with sweaters and boots, but it’s still too cold out to put them away for the season. So, we’re taking things into our own hands and creating spring right in the kitchen. Now if only we could get some of these kinds of flowers to start growing in our garden.

Ravioli Rose Pie

No green thumb? No worries. You can make this simple rose with store-bought ravioli layered with slices of mozzarella. We used sun-dried tomato ravioli to make this version, but you can get creative with different flavors to make different color flowers.

Pizza Roses

What’s better than a bouquet of fresh flowers to brighten up a room? A bouquet of pizza roses that taste as good (and cheesy) as they look. Store-bought pizza dough makes this easy and fun for the whole family.

Rose Cheesecake Tart

Marshmallow Flower Cupcake
