Just like Super Glue or duct tape can hold anything together in the non food world, I am convinced that chocolate ganache can shore up just about any dessert mishap. Trust me, I have put it through more than its share of test trials, and chocolate ganache can and will most assuredly save the day. [...]

Pumpkin Pie for One Anyone?
Posted in Pie, Pumpkin, tagged Libby's pumpkin pie recipe, pumpkin pie on November 24, 2010 | 22 Comments »
No this post is not about a single gal’s lonely Thanksgiving for one…and if I have just insulted you…I am sorry. Instead, this is one of those brilliant accidents. Although, it’s not quite as good as the accidental invention of Ivory soap, but it’s a great idea nonetheless. Let me back track a few steps. [...]
Pear Fritters Have Sunk My Battleship
Posted in Breakfast, Fried and Fabulous, Fruit Desserts, Other Desserts, tagged Biggest Loser, fried dough, pear fritters on November 21, 2010 | 15 Comments »
I know this must come as a great shock to you, but pear fritters are not the answer to your diet dilemma. They are made with whole milk, deep fried and then rolled in sugar. Does that not scream diet food? In all seriousness though, these fritters are some heavenly cross between funnel cake from [...]
Pumpkin Pancakes—A Great Excuse to Eat Dessert First
Posted in Bread, Breakfast, Pumpkin on November 19, 2010 | 15 Comments »
Breakfast is the best meal of the day as far as I am concerned. For a sweet toothed baker like myself it is an excuse to rightfully eat dessert as a meal. Pumpkin pancakes are no exception. These fluffy pancakes are packed with the good for you vitamins that pumpkins are famous for, but taste [...]
Aunt Bette’s Dangerous German Chocolate Cake
Posted in Cakes, Celebration Cakes, Chocolate, tagged German Chocolate Cake on November 15, 2010 | 43 Comments »
Aunt Bette is my husband’s aunt, and as far as my dad is concerned, her German Chocolate cake is the best dowry any dad could ask for. It is actually airy and spongy, with the best ooey, gooey coconut and pecan topping. If that’s not enough, it also has a luxurious chocolate butter cream frosting [...]

Are you in the Thanksgiving spirit yet? Perhaps dreaming of cranberries and pumpkin pie? Cranberries are so nice and tart that they are the perfect accompaniment to a deep, dark Devil’s Food cake laced with both white and dark chocolate ganache.
Suit Up Hot Dogs, You’re Going to a Party!
Posted in Appetizers, tagged brie and apple appetizers, homecoming, hot dog crescent appetizers, teenagers growing up on November 7, 2010 | 24 Comments »
Why on earth does anyone in their right mind give you a “recipe” for hot dog crescent roll-ups on their very prestigious, prissy little baking blog (Don’t worry, I have no delusions of grandeur…but one can dream can’t they)? Pop and Fresh anything isn’t exactly on the hot list and neither are hot dogs for [...]
Max Brenner’s Chocolate Pizza
Posted in Chocolate, Other Desserts, tagged bad boy chocolate pizza, dessert pizza, Max Brenner Chocolate Pizza on November 2, 2010 | 11 Comments »
Eating at Max Brenner, NY, with my hubby made all of his chocolate fantasies come true (let’s hope!). Chocolate, marshmallows and pizza, an unlikely combo, all oozing and melting as it makes its way into your mouth was his idea of Nirvana. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it as well. I am the true [...]
