Banana Bread Cream Nut Roll

Title says it all! Roll in powdered sugar!

Stuffed Pancakes (Ebelskievers)

Chocolate ganache filled pancakes. I've also made them with Apricot and Raspberry fillings. They are quite time-consuming, but as are most things that contain chocolate, well worth the effort. By the time I finished making them, it was practically lunch time!

Breakfast Casserole

This is a sausage and egg casserole/bread pudding. it was an easy recipe to make the night before and then pop in the oven in the morning. it also kept well and we sliced it to take to work. It is pretty firm and can hold well in tin foil.

Easter Chick Cupcakes

Vanilla Chick Cupcakes Rolled in Toasted Coconut. I had to frost the entire cupcake to get the coconut to stick. We brought these over to our friend's Jen and Tim's house for an early Easter dinner. Served with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is the only way to eat anythign with Coconut!

The Yummy

The Yummy! No really, that is what it's called. An old family friend owns jerry's Famous Deli in South Beach and this is on the menu. It's sort of like a mix between a monte cristo and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but either way, it's delicious. The toast is made the same way french toast is and then you assemble a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with it. Fry it all together in some butter and coat with powdered sugar. I know, I have no idea how you are expected to function after a breakfast like this.

Owl Cupcakes!

Owl Cupcakes with Oreo Eyes! Chocolate Cupcakes with a creamy chocolate buttercream. The oreo's were hard to separate and keep white, but from this distance you cant really see all the crumbs in the eyes. The orange eyes look a bit possessed but I ran out of brown M'nM's. Oh well!

Berry-Delicious Pie with Pound Cake Crumb Crust

Look how colorful this pie is! That's what I love about a crumb crust! it allows you to see all the delicious colors and ingredients inside the pie. Perfect for tempting you. The pie was a mixed berry pie that included all of my favorites: Blackberries, Raspberries, and Strawberries. I started with a simple pie crust dough and then made the crumb crust with oats, flour, sugar, and pound cake. When I baked it in the oven, the pound cake turned a golden brown and really added to the appeal. It also added an even sweeter element to the pie that paired really well with the berries. My secret ingredient to this pie was not the pound cake though, it was a poppy seed filling that I added the the berry/sugar mixture. Delicious! And of course, served with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
