Como sabemos que a nadie le amarga un dulce y que cuando llega el fin de semana se rompe la veda con los postres, hemos preparado el que, a partir de ahora, será tu bizcocho de chocolate favorito.
Any thoughts please?
Many thanks

set restraint aside
veda refers to the 'closed season' for hunting or fishing certain species, usually during the breeding season.
In Asker's context, it is being used to refer to self-imposed avoidance of sweet foods during the week.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Jennifer, that's what I inferred from the context, but wasn't sure. Thank you (and Robert Carter) for confirming. |

you can treat yourself to ...
Just another option that is easier to fit the word 'dessert' or 'pudding' into and has a marketing feel to it.
Treat yourself to pudding!

time to interrupt the ban
It depends on the tone desired. In the context, using a playful, witty construction could help: "... when the weekend arrives, it is time to interrupt the ban on desserts..."

: A good idea, but I don't think this sounds natural.

Although literally the idea is of "breaking the ban", idiomatically, I think you would be much more likely to see a phrase along these lines, of releasing the desires you have pent up during the week.
