Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Caramel Squares

Glazed Chocolate Cake with Sprinkles

This is a tender and moist chocolate cake with a silky chocolate glaze, all topped off with some fun shimmering sugar, perfect for holiday celebrations. A 9-inch,  one layer cake is available for $27. A 9-inch, two layer cake is available for $36.

Chocolate Almond and Raspberry Tart

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to food and desserts. I'm no exception. There are things that I like and others that I love. This tart definitely falls under the latter. I LOVE the combination of chocolate with raspberries. Quite frankly, the almonds in this case don't hurt either. This tart is a has a crunchy chocolate base, a surprising almond layer in the middle and a smooth chocolate ganache blanketing the almond. On top of that is a layer of fresh raspberries that are glazed with raspberry jam and kirsch brandy. The garnish is toasted almond slices. It is a beautiful addition to any holiday event. This 9-inch tart provides 8-10 servings and is available for $38.

Double Chocolate-Peppermint Crunch Cookies

These cookies are basically chocolate cookies with chocolate chips and a hint of espresso and peppermint. They have a chocolate topping and are sprinkled with crushed peppermint candy for a festive touch. They're very similar to a brownie in texture. Available for $7 per dozen.

Here's the Latest

We're just under the wire here and getting ready for Thanksgiving. We've added a few new yummy dishes before it's too late.

We've added an Apple Crostata.  It is the more rustic appearing of the various apple options. We also have the apple and grape pie and the apple pie with oat streusel that have appeared earlier on this site.

Next up, I put together a Pecan, Bourbon, Butterscotch Bread Pudding for an office potluck Thanksgiving. Yes. It is as good as it sounds. I was told that some of the ladies wanted to "divorce their husbands so that they could marry the bread pudding."

Lastly, it a Buttermilk Lemon Chess Pie.  The lemon flavor is subtle and the filling is a kind of custard.

 I will be taking orders until 5 pm Tuesday evening. Wednesday will be a busy baking day and deliveries will be made on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Nice and fresh!

Kolacky

Kolacky is a Central European cookie.  There are tons of options for fillings including prune, poppy seed, nut/honey, apricot, peach and raspberry. The most distinguisihing feature of this cookie is the dough. It is simple and includes only cream cheese, butter, sugar and flour. The dough isn't especially sweet but it works when countered with the filling and the powdered sugar dusting.  Think of it as a soft pillow for the filling to rest on!
