It was a chocolate layer cake with cherry filling and a rich frosting. I’d seen lots of pictures in which it was served on elegant cake stands with elaborate backgrounds.  Very much the vogue in … [Read more...] about Chocolate Covered Cherry Baked Pudding

Christmas is the perfect time for red velvet.  It’s the festive color of the season, and it is just so fun.  I’ve made Red Velvet Polka Dot Cookies and Red Velvet Surprise Cupcakes, and experiment with even more ideas.  But this may be the most practical.  Pound Cake is such a holiday staple – it’s easy to make, keeps well and freezes beautifully.  Serve hefty slices with … [Read more...] about Red Velvet Pound Cake

Last year, I posted a recipe for Peppermint Black Bottom Cupcakes, a nifty seasonal twist on a classic recipe and family favorite.  Well, as I started to think about Christmas treats for this season, I decided to take that classic recipe and try another twist - fun, rich, colorful red velvet.  Red Velvet Black Bottom is not a great name, so I call these surprise cupcakes … [Read more...] about Red Velvet Surprise Cupcakes

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
