The day dedicated to honouring the unstoppable force of womanhood is almost here! March 8th, International Women’s Day, is more than just a date—it’s a celebration of strength, compassion, ambition, and the limitless dreams carried by every feminine soul. While women around the world continue to fight for basic rights—like driving licenses or access to safe public spaces—this day shines a light on their courage, resilience, and relentless determination to create a better world.
Every day, women navigate countless challenges—both big and small. Even something as seemingly minor as body shaming leaves a deep impact, yet they rise above, stronger and more graceful than ever. Their role in our lives deserves endless appreciation, and that’s exactly why March 8th should be a heartfelt tribute to every incredible woman out there.
So, how about celebrating her with something sweet? Whether it’s your mom, sister, wife, friend, or any special woman who has stood by you through life’s highs and lows, show your love with International Women’s Day desserts that’ll warm her heart.
Victoria Sponge Cake
Named after legendary Queen Victoria, this one is a show stealer and a women pleaser. Queen herself, used to enjoy this cake with evening tea. The cake consists of two layers of vanilla sponge cake with whipped cream and raspberry jam in between the layers. The cake is decorated with powdered sugar on top to give it a touch of royalty. This is nothing like anything that you have surprised your lady love with. Sounds delicious? You can bet it is as tasteful as it looks.
Tarte Tatin
Made for the woman, by a woman! This dessert was accidentally made but it was such a flavoursome accident that this delicacy became famous instantly. Stephanie Tatin, one of the co-owner sisters of Hotel Tatin in France, made the dessert one day when she was super tired. She was meaning to make a traditional apple tart but left apples cooking in butter and sugar longer than needed. The apples burned to some extent and she decided to save the dish by putting some pastry on the top of apples and then put it in the oven. The result of that rescue operation was a delectable upside down pastry.
Peach Melba
Easy to make and scrumptious to taste, this International Women’s Day dessert will surely steal her heart right away. Made of just peaches, raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream, it was prepared in the honour of Nellie Melba, one of the most honoured soprano singers of the Victorian age. The juicy and fresh peaches along with flavoursome vanilla ice cream create a heavenly bite into the mouth.
Gulab Jamun Cheese Cake
Cheese and gulab jamun, two things on which all the Indian women can agree in unison and imagine these two loved flavours coming together to form something that is nothing less than magic in the mouth, yes!

Best made with pure cream, it is one of the richest custard recipes of the world. The best women in your life deserve something that’s one of the best in the world.
Gateau Fondant Au Chocolate
Literally translating to “melting chocolate cake” and more popularly known as ‘chocolate lava cake’, this one is a popular one among women around the world.

A little bit of attention will result in a cheery smile full of love on your lady’s face.
Pavlova
Named after Anna Pavlova, the famous Russian ballerina, this dessert has been the topic of debate between New Zealand and Australia since ever as both countries claim to be the origin point of this dessert, however, what everyone agrees on is the crunchy and creamy flavour of this dreamy dish.
