Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2011

Pumpkin spice as suggesteed by others, will substitute whole wheat and applesauce for oil next time. Sprinkled with pumpkin seeds instead of streusel for a healthier breakfast option.

Gourmet Caramel Apples

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2010

Loved these. Try cutting in pieces to serve. YUM turtles chocolate meets sour apple. The CARAMEL SOLUTION!! Took wax off the apples rolling them through a quick boiling water bath. I did the caramel in the double boiler (just until smooth but not too runny) dipped apples & wiped excess off bottoms and dipped quickly in COLD water (not above the "caramel line") then smoothed caramel with wet hands patted dry on tea towel then put in fridge for 20min I had no problems with caramel coming off the apples. While I did the chocolate in the double boiler I made caramel strings just rolling/pulling excess caramel from pot. dipped cooled apples in dark chocolate rolled in chopped pecans placed caramel strings on apples and then drizzled with melted chocolate from a baggie with tip cut.

Scrumptious Strawberry Shortcake

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2010

Not my favorite dessert - I always experienced an angle food cake or sponge cake version but had good reviews from those who like this traditional cake. Made individual serving size rounds

Easy, messy, for quick decorating I found it looked like children's stained glass cookies vs a work of art from the bakery.

Two Step Creamy Cheesecake

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2010

It was light and creamy, I still can't get over using the whipped topping but my family loved it. I used 1/2 the frozen topping as called for. I made a wild blueberry sauce and served it warm on top of the cake.
