These Almond Paste Filled Crescents are made with frozen puff pastry. They are so easy to make, you can have them ready in about an hour. I've also got a video showing you how to melt the chocolate for them.

Candied Walnut Cookies are how I use up leftover candied walnuts. These are chocolate chip cookies decorated with a candied walnut.
May Day Million Dollar Glazed Pound Cake

Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
I don't know why I wait for Easter to make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I think it just seems appropriate for the rabbits of Easter to have a carrot cake treat. This is a really rich cake, not something for every day.

Charoset Tart is a lovely dessert for your holiday table. You can serve it plain, or make it even more special with whipped cream on top.
German Chocolate Velvet Cake for a Celebration
This German Chocolate Velvet Cake really is the ultimate chocolate cake. It has the velvety texture of Red Velvet cake, deep dark chocolate flavor, mocha frosting, and coconut-pecan filling and topping. Even people who don't like chocolate cake, or who don't like coconut love this cake.
Glazed Lemon Jello Cake - a Family Tradition
I grew up with and loved my grandmother's famous Glazed Lemon Jello cake. The Jello in the cake makes it moist and stays that way. This cake won't dry up if you leave it on your plate for a moment or two.
Haunted Halloween Pumpkin Fortress Cake
This Halloween Pumpkin Fortress Cake is stuffed with cream cheese and has red food coloring. With decorations, it's meant to be a "scary" treat for the season. Wafting with pumpkin spice, the cake has an espresso glaze to remind you of a good coffee house cake. Surprisingly, it's a pretty simple cake to make.
How to Make Apple Brown Betty - a Winter Favorite
This is probably my favorite winter dessert. I look forward to the end of hot summer days when I can turn on my oven and make Apple Brown Betty. It's an old recipe, first published in 1864. I've been making it since 2011 when I won an award for it. I love the fact that it's very simple to make and with the help of some tools, in the oven in under 10 minutes.
