Strawberry Layer Cake

Post Easter dinner, my mom made a beautiful strawberry layer cake. She layered meringue with pecans, cream cheese mixed with whipped cream and strawberries 4 times. Beautiful cake, but really hard to cut. We agreed individual little cakes would be best so that you don't have to slice it. Southern Living April cover cake!!!!

Easter Breakfast Bread

My mom has a tradition making Easter breakfast bread every Easter. It is a raisin like bread with powdered sugar icing and sprinkles.

Mascarpone Cheese Cake

Saturday night, I made a modified version of my Le Cordon Bleu for my first audience, my parents - sister - brother. I heated up the house so much that the windows were steamy, but buy it was good. For dessert, I created a cake without hydrogenated oil. The only cake box without it was a chocolate gluten free cake. I layered it with tiramisu mascarpone and raspberries. I topped it with white chocolate shavings.
