Desserts need no introduction as beautiful confectionaries speak for themselves. Finish off a hearty meal with a sweet treat or enjoy a rewarding snack as you please!
Buttermilk Pound Cake
Pound cake is one of my favorite kinds of dessert. In the summertime, when fresh berries are plentiful, I’ll pile a handful of berries on top of a slice of cake and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. This is a large cake, so I usually freeze half of it to enjoy at […]
Butter Cream Frosting
Hands down, this is my very favorite frosting recipe. I can still picture my mother making this frosting. We would gather ’round waiting for her to hand us one of the beaters to lick. It’s light , buttery and not too sweet…the perfect frosting for a chiffon cake or a sheet cake. If your frosting […]
Butter Pecan Dessert
We’re traveling back to the 70’s with this creamy, freezer dessert. It sounds a bit strange…crackers in a dessert, but it is the best. Your guests will love it!

Brownies (Cake like)
Many folks enjoy a cake like brownie and this one was always a winner with my co-workers. It’s loaded with chocolate chips and nuts, and is covered with an easy to make chocolate icing. Or, skip the icing and simply dust the brownies with powdered sugar.
Brownies (Fudge like)
These are my hubby’s favorite brownies…very moist and fudge like. No need to wait for room temperature ingredients, so you can whip up this treat at the last minute This recipe is stirred by hand…no electric mixers.
Brownie Trifle Dessert
This decadent dessert is so easy to whip up. It starts with a package of brownie mix, some Amaretto, cool whip , instant pudding and candy bars. Follow a few east steps and you end up with this heavenly treat. A special thanks to my niece Tracy for sharing this recipe!
Blueberry Supreme Cake
It’s been nearly 50 years since my good friend Ruby shared this recipe with me. I always keep a can of blueberry pie filling in my cupboard just in case I get a “hankering” for this moist and tender treat.
