Well we have a breakfast thread and a dinner thread, why not a dessert thread? Show off your desserts here! They don't have to be homemade, but that's definitely a bonus lol

tonight I made a pecan pie. I love pecan pie and I feel like it's very underrated, especially up north, the restaurants/bakeries around here don't make them unless it's thanksgiving! It's been a long time since I made one so I decided to give it a shot, I used the recipe from The Joy of Baking and it came out pretty good. I didn't burn the crust at all, which is something I usually worry about. the flavor of the crust was great, very buttery! It's a little on the tough side though, I think it got too warm when I was rolling it out, oh well.

I had a cookie and milk. Sorry no pic unless we do an ultrasound at this point lol oh and blueberries and hot cocoa. Yeah I've been on a serious sugar binge, well food binge [emoji17]

Well Maddie, you did it now...  I love Pecan Pie.
it's Sunday, my day off, and you have prompted me to make a pie or bake a cake today.....  look out for a new reply with a picture soon!!!!
It's a very cold and snowy day so staying in and baking sounds like a good plan for me.

oooo yay! I can't wait to see what you come up with! I don't do pies too often, when I do it's usually Pecan or Cherry. or Peanut Butter, yummm! Last summer I did a cherry pie where I used Kolacky dough for the bottom crust and it was great, then I tried to do a crumb topping for it but it didn't come out right, I turned the broiler on for a minute and it kinda caramelized it a bit for a brulee topping and it was really good! Happy accident lol

I don't make cake much anymore either, but I used to make poke cakes a couple times a summer, those are fun to play around with. Usually when I bake anymore it's cookies

The last of the bread pud last night, apple to night

OK Maddie:  I had frozen Blackberries iin the freezer so I decided to make a Blackberry Pie today.  It just came out of the oven and the house smells so good.  Waiting for it to cool a little so I can have a "warm out of the oven" piece of pie with a scoop or two of Ice Cream tonight.
Bon Appetit,

So it be said, so it be written"  Devyl hence firth.

So I'm not gunna post any pics because it's not pretty, like, at all lol, but I made a really tasty cake! I have a really good chocolate cake recipe that uses dr pepper in it. you can't taste the soda too much, it's more for texture, it makes for a really moist cake. Well instead of dr pepper I used cherry coke. I didn't stop there though, I decided to make it a poke cake. For those unfamiliar with poke cake, you take the cake and poke a bunch of holes in it and then you boil some water and make jello, and instead of letting the jello set you just pour it over the cake and then chill it. so I did this with cherry jello. usually poke cakes are just topped with whipped cream but I wanted to do a frosting. I didn't feel like doing one from scratch so I bought a can of vanilla frosting and doctored it up. I mixed a little cherry coke in and a little cherry juice, and also a packet of cherry kool aid mix. it came out tasting fine, but it's very pink and it looks very ugly sittin on a brown cake lol. very yummy though!

I am going to a wedding shower for a good friend on Friday night and I am bringing Biscotti...
   ....so last night I was busy in my kitchen.  I am taking half of what I made to the party and putting the other half in the freezer for another time.

Did you dye your hair?

I darkened it a little...  when I went for my makeover a couple weeks ago they lightened it way too much for my taste.  I am a natural dishwater blonde but they made it more of a platinum...   now I think I darkened too much...  I sometimes change my hair color more often than I paint my nails...

OK Maddie... and any others....

I would like to see your home made dessert on this thread.... pictures please!!!!
So far we have Maddie's Pecan Pie, My Blackberry Pie, and my Chocolate Dipped Biscotti.
