Update classic pumpkin pie -- a smooth, creamy fall favourite -- with our special decorative flourish. Easy to make by following our step-by-step instructions, dark pumpkin pie and its variations with ginger or honey taste as luscious as they look.

Take note chocolate lovers and cake bakers (even novices), this curl-coated cake is surprisingly straightforward to make. A hint of raspberry complements the bittersweet chocolate.

This intensely rich dark chocolate cake is for grown-ups only (but you can find the recipe for our kid-friendly version, Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake, below).

A sprinkling of our Candied Sage gives the cake an extra-special finish.
