Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! We know we did, especially the food. Here’s a new site we found we just can’t stop laughing at, Cake wrecks. Here’s proof that you don’t need a fancy baker’s hat to make someone’s day that much more special.
You have to see more disturbing edible (we think?) cakes here.
How cool are mini things? Especially when they are miniatures of our favorite foods. Artist Shay Aaron is our hero. Not only does he make the most realistic versions of food to wear out of the polymer clay, but he most recently did a Christmas collection and even included tree ornaments. Our favorite is the mini gingerbread house and I just put the mini pizza slice earrings on my wish list.
Everyone needs to check out the rest of his stuff, it is amazing!! Click here.
We know you rarely have enough room to enjoy dessert on Thanksgiving, but usually you try. Through deep breaths and maybe even an impromptu jog around the block. Thanksgiving has one of the best desserts around and should never be overlooked. There is soo much more than pumpkin or pecan pie. We’ve set up a list of the best Turkey (or faux turkey for us vegetarians) Day sweet eats.
Click on the names to get the recipes!
1. Gingered Apple Pie with Cider Bourbon Sauce. Not only does it sounds amazing, warm and buttery this is bound to impress your guests.
2. Orange Chocolate Tart. Simple yet such a dream. This tart will just melt away in your mouth, with a hint of orange. Simple to make as well.
3. Pecan Pumpkin Butter Trifle. This gorgeous dessert was featured on CBS and said to be a take on a traditional English dessert. Serves many.
4. Turkey decorated cupcakes. If you are a creative cat and have a way with frosting manipulation, make some fun turkey decorated cupcakes. Use any mix type and color white frosting with vegetable dye, and have a blast. Here’s a design from a successful attempt here.
5. Apple-Pumpkin frozen yogurt. Reader’s Digest has a great recipe for a perfect Thanksgiving frozen dessert. A great cool down after working on that dinner plate. That’s hard work!
6. Chocolate Espresso Pie. Ladies Home Journal has a wonderful recipe for chocolate espresso pie. Serious yum with a hint of “wake me up”.
7. Bourbon Street Butterscotch Brownies. Want just a bite? The Food Network online has a recipe for these moist and delicious brownies. You just can’t go wrong with bourbon and butterscotch.
8. Four-Layer Pumpkin Cake with Orange-Cream Cheese Frosting. Bon Appetit has a jaw dropping recipe for a four layer tower of wonderful.
9. Libby’s® Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling. Libby’s® has never done our family wrong. This looks like an awesome take on a pumpkin dessert, easy to serve and so stylish. Grandma will just gush.
10. Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding. A southern favorite, bread pudding adds that home style feel to any dessert. Moist and soft with a dash of tang.
