Emergency Cake Fix!

Muffins are a great emergency fixe when you have a craving for cake! They’re quick and easy to prepare, bake quickly, and taste best warm from the oven so there’s no waiting :-)

I created these Butterscotch Pecan Bites today for my brother-in-law Ron – he loves having sweet pastries or cake for dessert and is arriving from Alaska with my sister this evening to visit. They’re made with rich 10% fat yogurt, brown sugar, loads of tiny butterscotch bits wrapped in milk chocolate (a recent discovery ), and my favourite nuts, pecans.

The recipe is coming up soon on EpicureanPiranha.com, my epicurean webzine

Visions of sugarplums …

Sweet treats ....

Delicate meringue kisses of pale pink and green, a deliciously decadent luxury version of “Millionaire’s Shortbread” (layers of buttery shortbread, lightly toasted pecans, rich caramel, and Lindt chocolate), and a rich orange, dried cranberry, and ginger pound cake ~ the selection of  desserts I prepared for our New Year’s Eve celebration dinner.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a Wonderful New Year filled with love and happiness!
