Coffee Chiffon Cake

I baked a cake for the first time! Each Christmas, my family invites my sister's in-laws over for a family dinner and I take care of the dessert.  This year, I wanted to bake a Chinese style coffee cake. I'm a coffee lover and I love the whipped cream and fluffiness of Chinese style cakes.    

Tiramisu in a Jar

The past several years, I started a tradition of giving a party favor/memento to my friends for Christmas (last year's was the coffee ornaments).  This year, I wanted to do something with mason jars since I volunteered to make the dessert for the Christmas party.

Fascinators for An Afternoon Tea Party

I've always wanted to have the opportunity to wear a fascinator to an event.  Luckily my friend, Tina, wanted to have "an afternoon tea party" themed bridal shower.  Since I was one of her bridesmaids, I quickly came up with the idea of giving away fascinators as party favors for her guests.  

"Not Too Sweet" Apple Pie

For this year's Christmas, I was once again in charge of the dessert!  I was planning on making a pumpkin pie, but after surveying the idea with a few of my family members, apple seemed to be the preferred choice.
