FRESH FIG TART

Grandma made this lovely FIG TART for a friend going to a brunch party. The shortbread crust is a favorite of hers. Then again, she loves the Italian Mascarpone Cheese sweetened with Wild Flower Honey and the Black Mission Figs too.

Grandma topped it with crushed Pistachio Nuts for a bit of texture, yum.

GLUTEN FREE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Hello Dearies,

Grandma shares a birthday with a lovely young lady named Violet. For her birthday this year, Grandma whipped up a scrumptious Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake. Look at the size of those berries! Oh, dear, did that sound naughty? Well, Happy Birthday Violet! Enjoy your day and your treat.

BLIZZARD OF 2010 CAKE

Hello my dears,

Grandma had so much fun making a birthday cake for a group of Winter 2010 Birthday Guests. he theme seemed to fit: "The BLIZZARD OF 2010". Grandma layered Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla cake, covered by Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Crystalized White Sugar and Sweet Coconut gave the feel of a snowy terrain, along with a stranded WHITE SUV. Just add the marshmallow snowman and "ta-da".

Fun and Tasty always brings many smiles to the guests.

Happy New YEar darlings!

Grandma

I had the pleasure of creating a birthday cake for a woman who loves Bridge, Mahjong and Film. Grandma baked a citrus cake (Lemon and Orange layers) covered in all edible Playing Cards, White Chocolate Mahjong Tiles and a Filmstrip with Birthday Wishes.
