These dark-chocolate raspberry cake pops were made as a birthday gift package. They’re covered with milk chocolate and a melted candy swirl.

Ok, so this iPhone photo doesn’t really do it justice, but I received this beautiful milk glass plate for my birthday and immediately thought, “I need to make tea cakes!” Nothing but light, delicate and feminine cakes would suite it better.

Luckily, I just acquired a petit four pan last month! I did a little online research and I think this pattern indicates it’s from the 1950s or ’60s. If anyone can weigh in and offer any tips for identifying when and where this plate came from, please comment below.

I’ve been baking up a storm this weekend fulfilling orders and making a few of my holiday favorites along the way. The list included caramels, spritz, oatmeal butterscotch, Russian teacakes, fudge and more! My husband even commented, when I crawled into bed,”You smell like cookies.”

For this week’s upcoming Turkey dinner, I decided to reuse an updated classic: chocolate pumpkin tart. I’ll tell you one thing: I’m definitely thankful for chocolate this year. Here’s hoping it can make the car trip down to Aunt Jill’s unscathed.

Now that Minneapolis has had its first dusting of snow, I can’t help but think about the holidays and some of my favorite sweet treats. Start thinking about your upcoming events and what type of baked good you’d like to share. I’m accepting orders from my holiday menu (above) through the end of November, for delivery through Dec. 20.
