Some Fun and Exciting Desserts Inspired by Everyone’s Favorite Show ‘Schitt’s Creek’

One of the loveliest shows to come out in recent times, Schitt’s Creek is, undoubtedly, a cultural sensation. Create these desserts inspired by the show for your next themed party.

From the first minute of the show, as the Roses are removed from their home in all their dramatic and over-the-top glory, we’ve loved the family and rooted for them. Seeing them settle into Shitt’s Creek and deal with a whole new way of life has been a hilarious and soul warming journey. It’s generally a happy place, with no extreme hate; everyone in the town is a good person, it seems. In this way, the show maintains its light and breezy mood, while also being intensely heartbreaking at times—think Ted and Alexis separating, or the hoops David has to jump through to finally find love. However, through it all, the show has made us laugh and given us great moments to cherish.

Drawing inspiration from the various characters and their indulgences, we’ve whipped up some fun dessert ideas for your next themed party.

Rose Cupcakes

As an homage to the sophistication and panache of the Rose family, create some moist cupcakes with beautiful frosting designs. Make cupcakes with pink food coloring, and remember to infuse them with rosewater for an added tinge of fanciness. Use a swirl of rosewater flavored white buttercream to decorate the cupcakes, or create flowers using a star shaped nozzle. Add edible rose petals on top to really drive home the elegance of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes in a wicker basket to look like a bouquet.

Cafe Tropical Cake

Recall the iconic Cafe Tropical, the town’s beloved coffee shop, with a cake inspired by it. Make a chocolate cake, with each layer infused with coffee and a buttercream frosting, which could also be flavored with coffee to go between the layers, and on top of the cake. Decorate the top and sides of the cake with plenty of edible flowers and leaves, really making it look ‘tropical’ and fresh. Get inspired by Twyla’s surprise smoothie, throwing in different elements onto the cake.

Moira Cookies

Bake some delicious rectangular sugar cookies and icing sugar in different colors like black and blonde. Top the cookies with the shape of different wigs Moria owns. Look at her collection, making some with short, straight hair, others with long curls, red haired bobs, and more. You could recreate the funny hairstyle Moira gets when she visits the parlor with Jocelyn, which makes them look like twins. Place the cookies on a plate, and add a label called Moira’s Wigs next to it.

David Truffles

Channel David’s sophistication with a fancy, indulgent dessert that he would have enjoyed. Think dark chocolate truffles infused with lavender. Shape them into small, bite-sized balls and coat them with cocoa powder. Top with edible lavender petals. Serve on a black or dark brown plate to heighten the theatrics of the dish. The rich chocolate and refreshing, subtle lavender will create flavor notes that will impress even the most discerning palates.

Jocelyn’s Nanaimo Bars

In the first season itself, Jocelyn brings Moira some Nanaimo bars, sharing them with her signature love and warmth. Recreate these for your gathering, but add a Schitt’s Creek twist to them by using icing to top them with quotes from the show. Of course top some with the show’s most famous phrase, “Ew David!”. For the rest, add the many words unique to Moira, like ‘callipygian’, ‘Mammae’, ‘Frippet’, ‘Timorous Grinagog’ and ‘Pettifogging’, among others.

Motel Cinnamon Buns

Remember that episode where everyone is obsessing over cinnabon buns and how “it would be wrong” to serve guests day old ones? Make those delicious looking cinnamon buns yourself, in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and more. Top them with a sprinkling of cinnamon and powdered sugar. Serve them on a large white dish and add a stick on the side, on which you can put up the notice “For motel guests only”.

Schitt’s Creek Fan Cake

Bake a cake for the ultimate Schitt’s Creek fan in your life by recalling the book and documentary about the show called Best Wishes, Warmest Regards, and celebrating David and Stevie’s loving friendship. Make sure the cake is rectangular, add a border with black frosting along the edges so it looks like a photo frame, and add the words inside it, in any color and font you like. Place toothpicks with pictures of the characters on the sides of the cake, adding other references as you desire.
