Cakes

This is ideal for men who love playing around with their tools and fixing everything around the house.

If your Dad is still rocking those tie dye shirts, you must make this cake for him!

Or if you find the most important man in your life wearing classic dress shirts, then consider making him this cake.

For all the sushi loving fathers out there, this one is for you. These mini cakes look like sushi but taste nothing like it. This is sure to get some laughs.

Pokemon has made a comeback and so many guys are really into it these days!

Nothing beats a Dad who is obsessed with Star Wars and this cake would totally blow them away.

This would be great for the nerdy dads out there who love talking about the planets and the galaxy.

Cupcakes

Is there a shirt your Papa wears all the time? Make an edible fondant cupcake topper version of that shirt.

This is perfect for all the handymen Dads out there.

If your parent is into football, he's going to love this pull apart cupcake cake!

Cookies

Make sports themed Oreo cookies and use them to play a game of tic-tac toe for fun.

We all get those emoji text messages from our fathers. Consider making the ones he uses the most in his texts, using Oreos.

This is perfect for all the Dads out there who are still crazy about dinosaurs like any 5 year old boy.

If your Pa is crazy about Oreos, then this Oreo cookie tower will blow him away.

Imagine gifting your Daddy a completely edible cookie bowl, loaded with even more cookies. Who can say no to that?

Coffee Desserts

Most Dads need to start off their day with coffee. Well, why not bring coffee flavors into a delicious dessert? They will get to enjoy a caffeine kick and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Unique Desserts

Seems like Pokemon is not something for kids. Adults love it just as much! Turn boring donuts into Pikachus.

My dad loves chocolate and spicy food. This treat combines both those flavors harmoniously.

This is a loaded treat combining pretzels, chocolate and peanut butter balls. Who can resist all that goodness?

For any men out there who love cake and popcorn, this dessert combines both perfectly.

My favorite Father's Day Dessert- Fairy Bread

This is fun to serve for breakfast or as a snack or even dessert. It's so easy that even kids can make them! My version is slightly different that the original. Typically, it's topped with butter and cut into triangles.

I did something different. I sliced white bread and topped it with sweetened cream cheese and lots of sprinkles. To fit this holiday theme, I went a step further and used cookie cutters to cut out "I HEART YOU DAD" pieces and arranged them nicely on a plate! Check out some of these Breakfast in Bed Ideas and include this fairy bread on one of those trays.

With regards to storage, these should be served immediately because the bread will start drying out, the longer it's exposed to air. I don't recommend freezing or refrigerating leftovers for later because the moisture in the fridge/freezer can cause the sprinkles to bleed color and become messy.
