National Crêpes Suzette Day is observed worldwide on May 6 each year, celebrating the delicious French dessert known as Crêpes Suzette. This dessert consists of thin crêpes served with a sauce made from butter, caramelized sugar, orange juice, citrus zest, and orange-flavored liqueur, which is flambéed tableside for a dramatic presentation. The origins of Crêpes Suzette are attributed to Henri Charpentier, who, as a young assistant waiter, accidentally ignited the sauce while serving the future King Edward VII, leading to its eventual naming after a young lady present. Another account suggests the dessert was named after French actress Suzanne Reuchenberg, who served crêpes on stage in a play. To celebrate the holiday, people often indulge in Crêpes Suzette at French restaurants or attempt to make the dish at home, sharing their experiences on social media with the hashtag #NationalCrêpesSuzetteDay.
