Beautiful Cakes From Start to Finish
Fresh Coconut Dream Cake Pops! You heard it right, Fresh Coconut Dream Cake Pops! Remember that awesome Fresh Coconut Dream Cake I posted a few weeks ago. I didn’t think any coconut dessert could be its equal, that is until I made these delicious cake pops out of the same cake!

Chocolate Citrus Truffles. You know that cliche seen in a movie where the boyfriend hands his girlfriend a box with a bow on it and she gets so excited because she knows it will be a beautiful piece of jewelry? Well that’s my reaction when I get a beautiful box of truffles. There is nothing more beautiful and delicious then a box of handcrafted truffles.

Cashew Brown Sugar Shortbread! So good! This is going to sound strange but I’m hoping there’s at least one other person out there who will get this. Here it is, I could eat brown sugar with a spoon. I love the moist texture, the molasses notes and the way it dissolves on my tongue almost instantly. I warned you, strange, I know. Not so strange though is putting it in a cookie to create a delicious caramel like blanket over buttery shortbread, salted and roasted cashews and milk chocolate chips. Mmmm, Mmmm, good!

I’m so excited to be able to share this Fresh Coconut Dream Cake with you. I had many ideas for the name of this cake (coconut avalanche cake, coconut best cake ever, coconut cake of my dreams…) but decided on Fresh Coconut Dream Cake because this cake is what I dream of when I think of coconut.

White Chocolate Raspberry Lemon Tart. This tart is like Christmas morning, all the preparing, anticipation, excitement and then over in a day. Just like the sad feeling you got as a child when you realized you opened your last present, the same feeling rushes over me as I realize I’ve eaten the last piece. This tart is one of those desserts you look forward to and eat all your veggies for knowing the best is yet to come.

VANILLA BEAN, BUTTER AND SUGAR, OH MY!!! The only thing better than a sugar cookie is a sugar cookie with fresh vanilla beans. And the only thing better than buttercream is buttercream mixed with vanilla curd. And the only thing better than these two things alone is putting them together to create the best Vanilla Curd Buttercream Sandwich Cookie!!!!

Before I begin I just have to say…TGIF! Now I have two and half days (I start my weekend officially on Friday afternoon) to spend with my family playing outside and yes doing some yard work. But it is 82 degrees out, winter is in the rear view. No more snow, no more coats, no more ice!! What a relief it is when our 3 year old daughter asks to play outside we can just walk out the door rather then spend 10 minutes getting all suited up to stay warm first.

What is it about the beloved maraschino cherry that makes everyone smile? When I was younger if I had to share a dessert (torturous) with my brother we would argue over the cherry. It swirls the bottom of endless cocktail glasses. And my 3 year old daughter loves to beg her grandfather for one whenever we visit. Is it the bright bejeweled red color that seems to glow? The sweet candy taste? The pop in your mouth when you take a bite? All of the above? What ever it is it’s the delicious main star of this brownie

My husband has a picky palette. So when he asked me to make this again for his family over Easter it was a compliment. This upscale desert is so fabulous that I have to give half away just so I won’t keep eating it. That’s one of the hazards of working from home, if there’s good food in the house I can’t stop myself.
