Traditional holiday flavours get dressed up for this new presentation.
These adorable bird’s nest cookies are delectable on their own, but topped with maple icing and chocolate eggs? Even better!
For a pretty platter, use a variety of cookie cutters, such as butterflies, dragonflies or flowers.
When you're feeling low, nothing works better than chocolate. The combo of graham crackers, chocolate and toasted marshmallows will whisk you back to the campfires of your youth and give you a carbohydrate boost, too.
Christmas colours add holiday flair to these giant cookies. For other celebrations, change up the shades to suit. Coating wafers are available in a variety of colours in bulk food stores.
Juicy fresh cherries star in this simplified alternative to pie. Make the fruit filling at the last minute, otherwise the sugar will draw out the cherry juices, making assembly messier.
This traditional English dessert, made with stewed fruit and whipped cream, tastes decadent but has a lovely light texture. For a quick treat, cook the rhubarb the day before, then simply whip the cream and assemble before serving. If fresh rhubarb isn't available, you can substitute the same amount of thawed frozen rhubarb—just thoroughly pat it dry.
Natural peanut butter with no added sugar is our choice for the cake, particularly delicious with its streusel centre of roasted peanuts, butter and sugar.
Fireworks, friends and food. Throw a party for Canada Day and serve this special strawberry maple-leaf flag cake. Start with a 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) sponge cake (recipe follows), or use your favourite recipe for white cake of that size, and completely cover it with whipped cream. Then form the outside red borders and distinctive maple leaf with sliced strawberries. Be sure to refrigerate the cake until sparkler time, then cut it and toast our birthday.
