good morning!
lately i've been thinking about what 'special' dessert i'd like to make for around Christmas. i like to bake something that i might not normally do, something a little more involved, for around that holiday.
with these thoughts on my mind, for today's Question of the Day --
What is your favorite dessert for 'special occasions'? (can be any special occasion -- a birthday, anniversary, holidays, and etc)
i'll start!
hmmm......i generally like pie around Thanksgiving, and usually make a peanut pie (very similar to pecan pie).
for around Christmas......last year i made a 3-layer carob cake, which was simply decadent! this year, i'm thinking a cake and i'm leaning towards using carob. i just might decide to make Winchester 's chocolate (/carob) cake with whipped peanut butter frosting this year. whatever cake i make, i'll cut the frosting down to about 2/3rds of what the recipe calls for. i like frosting, but as i've gotten older i don't care for overly sweet as much, and really love the cake more than the frosting. most times, i prefer to just sprinkle powdered sugar over a cake, instead of frosting it.
i don't usually make desserts specifically for other special occasions, though i always have something on hand for dessert.
okay, now it's your turn!
