Full-Size Tart
I had one extra batch of key lime filling after last weekend’s wedding tarts, so I made a full-sized version to bring to Stef and Troy’s for dinner. Who says leftovers can’t look good?
Key Lime Tarts
Ben and Kristie’s wedding guests had a special treat for dessert. These key lime tarts seemed like the perfect finish to an outdoor wedding reception on White Bear Lake. Congrats to the happy couple!
Brunch Sweets
Raspberry Meringue
After volunteering for HeartBeat 5000, some friends and I got together for a late-morning brunch. Children’s Hospitals & Clinics of Minnesota is a great cause, and getting together for a laid-back afternoon with friends was a sweet way to wrap up the morning! For a treat, I brought meringue with a fresh raspberry sauce and whipped cream. Although I didn’t make it, I also have to share my friend Cavan’s amazing dessert!
Frozen Mango, Blackberry & Vanilla Mosaic
This layered treat tastes even better than it looks, if that’s even possible! It’s made of softened layers of vanilla ice cream, mango sorbet and a fresh blackberry puree. I’ll definitely be adding this one to the recipe book!
Celebrating a Handy Man
This cake is for John’s 90th Birthday. John started an Our Own hardware store and still works for the local hardware shop. One of his specialties is making keys. This is an 8-inch chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream.
Billie’s 100th Birthday!
My co-worker comissioned this cake for her grandmother’s 100th birthday celebration.I knew it had to be good, as she has 99 other cakes to compare this one with. The bottom layer is chocolate with orange buttercream inside and the top two layers are vanilla with raspberry buttercream filling. The decor reflects Billie’s favorite color (yellow) and flower (peonies). I must say these buds were fun to make!
