Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

Five Spice Nectarine Plum Pan Dowdy. The five spice mix adds a wonderfully fragrant, exotic flavour to enhance the fruit but if you prefer, cinnamon alone also works very well.

Raspberry Vanilla Cream Cheese Cupcakes. Moist, tender vanilla cupcakes filled with raspberry compote and topped with rich, luscious cream cheese frosting.

Strawberry Custard Angel Food Shortcake. A light summer shortcake dessert with a creamy indulgent vanilla custard to give it just a little added decadence. My daughter just finished junior high and partly because our kids have done all their schooling in French since kindergarten, she is off to Quebec for an educational and cultural exchange …

A real old fashioned version of a Vanilla Custard Pie just like Grandma used to make. Top with fresh raspberries or any fresh berries or fruit of your choice.

Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Nutella Ganache Sauce. A light as air chocolate angel food cake with a warm, ultimately indulgent Nutella ganache sauce.

Banana Orange Cardamom Crinkle Cakes. Incredibly flavourful little cakes with fragrant citrus and spice. Great for lunchboxes and coffee breaks.

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Truffle Dipped Strawberries. An easy one-bowl chocolate cake recipe covered in fudge frosting & topped with luscious chocolate truffle dipped berries!

Chocolate Silk Pie, a real old fashioned recipe for a creamy chocolate custard pie topped with mounds of fresh vanilla whipped cream.

Orange Curd Meringue Tart. A sweet and tart orange curd inside a flakey pastry crust topped with a mountain of fluffy meringue. A delightful dessert to serve at dinner parties or even Sunday supper.

Strawberry Marshmallow Mousse Cake. A super easy mousse made from strawberries and marshmallows on a light as air sponge cake. A nice light celebration cake or the perfect end to a great meal.
