Coconut Lover's Birthday Cake

This dessert is made in 4 parts: cake, rum syrup, coconut custard and whipped cream frosting.  I like to think of each part as a separate recipe that can be made at different times and then assembled.

The Only Chocolate Frosting You Will Ever Need

It can be as dense, sweet, semisweet, or bittersweet as the chocolate you use to make it. I use it on all my cakes and cupcakes that call for chocolate frosting.

White Chocolate Berry Roulade

This started out to be strawberry shortcake. But I never do what's expected.  I like raspberries in my shortcakes because their tartness adds a layer of flavor to dulcet strawberries. Whipped cream is great, but wait until you taste it with white chocolate mixed in.

Ultimate Fudgy Brownies with Peanut Butter Chips

A bowl, a wooden spoon and a microwave is all the equipment you need to make these amazing brownies. They are so rich and fudgy and leave you with such a delicious lingering chocolate taste that it’s hard to stop eating them. Once you taste brownies with peanut butter chips, you may never go back to using nuts again.

Passover Apple Blackberry Crumb Cake

Not quite a pie, but not really a cake either. This unique Passover dessert may be the best of both. Almond macaroons and sponge cake crumbs make a cookie-like base for layers of brown sugar coated apples, and also a crumbly coating for the top.
