What I really need help with is that it is my mom's birthday this week and for the life of me I am drawing a blank on a dessert to make. I need something that I can make the day before and can be easy to present the next day along with a smile and a certain song.
Any suggestions???

I would go with something seasonal. A peach cobbler or perhaps a strawberry shortcake. You can make the cake the day before and layer the fruit and cream before serving (and singing!).

ReplyDeleteThis is a good one that everyone I have made them for loves them.
Depends, what are her fav flavors?
ReplyDelete@Camala- She loves strawberries, peaches, most summer fruits. Also a big fan of almond, and coconut. She is pretty easy to please:) I am just out of fresh new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would make lemon loaf with some vanilla glaze. Lemon bread is always yummy and keeps really well. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are WAY too tense :-) Just like mine... Yeah, right. I'd go with gingerbread with lemon sauce. The gingerbread is better the next day and the lemon sauce is great heated up... kateiscooking
ReplyDelete@Kate... that sounds great...I will have to give something ginger a thought. She loves gingersnaps. Hmmmm?
ReplyDeleteGlad to see, mine aren't the only dogs that own the couch! I now it's not quite fall yet, but I have a pumpkin pie cake that could probably adapted with some gingersnaps!

The dogs are SO cute! I'd make a fresh fruit trifle. A good basic cake, classic vanilla pudding (maybe with a touch of rum), whipped cream and any fruit that's in season; blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. It's gorgeous and gets even better if left in the fridge for a day before serving.
ReplyDeleteI'd say carrot cake. Hearty, tasty, and lavish looking. Good luck in what ever you decide to bake and present.
ReplyDeletesorry, no recipe suggestions, but just wanted to say how adorable your dogs look on the couch!
ReplyDelete@ gibkitty... thanks so much. They are the best! Well, after my adorable 10 month old. Oh, and the couch is their dog bed.. no one else sits there.
ReplyDeleteFruit with an almond crust> Berries.S abayon the easier spelling) with berries??? Tortoni? (frozen almond custard)...drop dead rich-flourless chocolate torte.... I thinking I'm living vicariouly conjuring desserts in my mind. Cannoli cake...
ReplyDelete@Claudia frozen almond custard is gong to have to be made for my birthday. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI had to write and tell you that your dogs are beautiful......I'm having a difficult time keeping my hands off them (and it's only a photo). This post has just been filed into my favorites because of those beautiful creatures!
ReplyDelete@ Chef Kokopelli- You are so sweet! And the dogs are just as adorable as they look. Just lazy lovely kiss and hug creatures. They really are a joy to our life. Thanks for your sweet words.
