The Caker Serves up Thanksgiving Dessert

 

Tis the season, or shall we say tis the season of seasonings. That’s right, the time of year is upon us to gather together with our loved ones to give thanks and count our blessings, all while being surrounded by a well crafted table of delicious (mostly home-made) food. Of course with this day fast approaching begs the question of, “what are you bringing to the table”? There are always the crowd pleasers — pumpkin pie, pecan tarts, apple pie — but this year we are serving the old with a little something new. We are giving thanks to The Caker for sharing THE 3 desserts we will be bringing to our Thanksgiving festivities and the spices that will stimulate your 5th sense, filling the air with gratitude and celebration. 

“I think certain spices have the power to evoke emotions of nostalgia and celebration. Warming cinnamon, spicy ginger and aromatic nutmeg all taste like gratitude to me because they are reminiscent of times spent with loved ones. I just created a recipe for brown butter, pumpkin and sage cakes (a take on my favorite ravioli in sweet form), which I think are perfect for this time of year. Serve them with cinnamon spiked whipped cream and you’ll be giving thanks all over the show.”

The Caker’s SWEET SPREAD LINEUP :

Cherry and Cardamom Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Icing

Forget the cranberries, we are putting fresh cherries on top with this recipe. Can we also say, “hello new spice,” with a pinch of cardamom to kick this Thanksgiving up a notch. Pair with a red wine to brighten the cakes bold but mellow flavor. 

Citrus Olive Oil Pistachio Cake

Give pecans a break. Best paired with a flute of champagne.

Upside-Down Green Apple and Fresh Mint Cake

Turn your apple pie upside-down with this recipe. Makes for a refreshing alternative to the infamous apple pie. Paired best with a hot cup of green tea or calming chamomile.
