strawberry shortcakes
These mile-high strawberry shortcakes are bloody brilliant...scone-like, flaky and buttery biscuits hug layers of vanilla whipped cream and Grand Marnier-infused strawberries.
chocolate peanut butter cupcakes
I got vetoed (by Lisa, naturally) because I wanted to name these cupcakes Creamy Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cupcakes Dipped in Chocolate Ganache and Topped with Peanut Butter Frosting and a miniature Peanut Butter Cup. Really, not such a mouthful to say, but boy, what a mouthful to eat - these incredibly moist chocolate cupcakes are off the charts delicious.
mini heath bar cheesecakes
We'd like to amend the expression that good things come in small packages. In fact, it's great things (read: creamy, toffee-filled, buttery crusted and chocolate drizzled) that come in small packages. These Mini Heath Bar Cheesecakes, easy to make and even easier to devour, may be small in size, but they deliver huge in taste.

We all know that Lisa loves chocolate madly, deeply. That's the primary reason this outrageously chocolaty chocolate cake exists - a rich, dense and fudge wonder that fulfills her daily chocolate yen. Why the peanut butter frosting, you ask?

Lisa's creation of this creamy peanut-butter frosted, decadent and moist chocolate cake delivers major stick-to-your-mouth satisfaction - the only thing you'll be licking clean is your plate.

Hum along as you prepare this foolproof, sweet crisp-topped pie, so luscious it’ll make the moon stand still.
ginger cookie sandwiches with lemon filling
Soft and spicy ginger cookies sandwiching a sweet and tart lemon cream filling. With blackstrap molasses bringing deep color and flavor to these classic cookies and zesty lemon that makes us suckers for the pucker, this is one delectable dessert.
layered toffee crunch cake
A quick Internet search for a Layered Toffee Cake and you'll find thousands that involve store-bought angel food cakes sliced in half and filled with whipped topping and chopped up chocolate bars.
