All my favorite things in one pretty dessert, pound cake, whipped cream, pudding, and fresh berries.  This dessert makes quite an impressive presentation.

Who doesn’t love pound cake? It’s a delicious, moist, dense cake. You don’t need filling or frosting at all. There are so many flavors but I keep coming back to the sour cream flavor profile. This moist, dense cake is a star right by itself.  Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the cooled cake and […]

Peaches have a special place in my heart.  Daddy owned a farm in Sylvania, GA for many years.  Mama referred to it as a “gentlemen’s farm” because they never intended to make a living from the farm, it was just something Daddy loved doing and Mama humored him.  One of my favorite memories of the […]

My occasional drink of choice is always a Margarita made with Patron, salted rim, and on the rocks. With guests coming over for a Mexican dinner party, I wanted to serve a cheesecake version of my favorite drink and the Margarita cheesecake cupcake was born. I love cheesecake cupcakes.  Quicker to make, quicker to cool, […]

It is HOT here in Savannah. The idea of a heavy cake isn’t nearly as appealing as the light, fluffy deliciousness that is Angel Food Cake. So I whipped one up. My friend, Chef Darrin saw my facebook post and challenged me to an Angel Food bakeoff. Chef Darrin is crazy talented but his Angel […]

I am celebrating the Fourth of July with stars and stripes vanilla cupcakes. These vanilla cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat to whatever you have grilling this weekend. Pair this classic vanilla cake with any frosting but I gotta admit, my faux swiss meringue buttercream is the perfect backdrop to my sprinkles. Oh…sprinkles! As much […]

Well, the Best Chocolate Cake is a hit. Let’s take it to the next level, if that is even possible, with Minette’s Chocolate Mousse Cake. Using two layers of the Best Chocolate Cake, Mascarpone mousse, strawberries, and ganache, you can create a dessert cake that your guests will fawn over. You can never go wrong […]

My children grew up loving desserts. No surprise here, right?  Now that they are grown and on their own, I make sure their favorite dessert is waiting on them when they arrive home for a visit.  Lizzie lives in Manhattan, travels the world, and enjoys good food.  These brownies are her favorite!  Not a traditional […]
