These light, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are bite-sized and dainty but the almond flavor packs a punch. When I was a kid, my mom made these every Christmas in the shape of Christmas trees, decorated with red and green sprinkles.

For my son’s 2nd birthday I made a tower of Sesame Street cupcakes topped with an Elmo cake. Decorated with frosting in bright primary colors the characters were easily identifiable and the kids loved being able to pick out their favorite character.

These cookie sandwiches are made of a buttery shortbread with a subtle caramelized flavor and a rich, nutty caramel cream frosting. Yum!

There are many variations of caramel, but I love this basic and simple recipe from Simply Recipes. The only ingredients are sugar, heavy cream and butter and the result is a smooth, rich, caramel sauce that is perfect for many things, including caramel apples and ice cream sundaes.

Fruit crisp is one of my favorite desserts because the oatmeal crumble on top adds a sweet crunch to each bite while allowing the fruit to remain the star of the dessert. I use whatever fruit is in season so this time I chose peaches for a grand finale of summer.

I recently made my pumpkin bread in the form of mini muffins. With the addition of chopped walnuts on top and a layer of cream cheese frosting in the middle, I transformed some of them into little cupcake bites, perfect for a dessert party or an afternoon treat.

These cupcakes were the star dessert on my Tapas For a Cure menu, made in miniature, iced with cream cheese frosting and decorated with a teal icing cancer ribbon for Ovarian Cancer awareness.

This gingerbread can come in the form of cupcakes, mini cupcakes, or a 9×13 loaf. It is yummy plain but I love the addition of the cream cheese frosting.

Ice cream is a refreshing combo with the zing of the ginger in the cookies. Use the ice cream of your choice.
