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!
