Raspberry Chocolate Truffles
Oh Boulder, how I love you, but this week I'm in Malibu, and I must say … a person could get used to this. I'm here for a little bit of Dessert Diva work and a whole lot of Dessert Diva play — they tend to be one and the same most days of the week, and I'll take it...
Hazelnut Chocolate Coffee Cake
I have been dreaming of this week’s dessert for a couple of months now. Yes, some people dream of money and fame (I mean world peace). Me, I dream of chocolate, butter and nuts all mixed together to form the perfect treat...

Cinnamon Apple Crumble
It’s been an Applepalooza of a month. I can’t get away from the apple desserts. They have been requested for parties, picnics and potlucks. Sounds like a bad Food Network show, but no, it’s just where my creations have been showing up. This week, my friends, it is...
