Summer Berry Compote

A wonderful dessert using fresh summer berries.

Smooth Double Chocolate Frosting

I’ve never liked the heavy texture of buttercream icing, so I came up with this as a smooth and rich alternative. It always gets rave reviews!

Honey-Cocoa Frosting

This recipe was created to go with my whole wheat chocolate chiffon cake. It contains no refined sugar and no egg. For white frosting, reduce the honey to 1/2 cup and omit the cocoa powder.

Orange Glaze II

This glaze is perfect for Bundt cakes or tube cakes. It helps keep the cake fresh and moist.

Blue Ribbon Mincemeat Pie Filling

An old-time delicious mincemeat pie filling. I have frozen this filling in zip-lock baggies, since I don’t use a pressure canner. Apple cider can be used in place of brandy if preferred.

Nutty Cream Cheese Frosting

For those who can’t get enough nuts. Excellent on applesauce, pumpkin and carrot cakes.

Freezer Pie Filling

Makes pie fillings from fresh fruit to freeze for later use. Double, triple or quadruple the recipe as needed. Try using peaches, pears, or cherries.

A friend gave me this recipe for mincemeat many years ago. It is so good that even those who do not care for mincemeat pie likes it. If preferred, use molasses instead of sorghum. Also, apricot juice can be substituted for the pineapple juice. This makes enough filling for 2 (9 inch) pies.

Vegan-Friendly Caramel Buttercream

This is a rich, caramely buttercream frosting, which pairs perfectly with a simple chocolate cake, or frost an apple cake for a sweet Autumn treat. This icing can also be made with standard ingredients such as milk and butter. It makes enough to frost one two-inch layer cake, or 24 cupcakes.

Quick Pour Chocolate Fondant

This is a great Chocolate Fondant recipe. Pour over the top of cakes or petits fours to make a perfectly smooth and glossy surface. Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator for weeks. Reheat to use again.

Jo Ann’s Frosting

A not-so-sweet white frosting alternative that is great for all cakes and decorating needs. This may be tinted with food color if you like.

Russian Creme Fruit Topping

A quick and tasty topping for fresh berries. May be served with a sugar wafer as garnish.

Chef John’s Lighter Lemon Curd

This has all the rich lemony goodness of regular lemon curd with fewer calories and a little less fat. Use it for lemon tarts, on pancakes, or a filling for layer cakes.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Smooth and tasty vanilla buttercream, perfect consistency for decorating any cake.

Cake Fondant

A quick fondant. If you want colored fondant, add a dash of food coloring and knead.

Yogurt Glaze

This is a quick and yummy glaze to put on top of cupcakes or regular cake!!

Chili Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream Cheese Frosting with a bite! Warm but not too hot. Great for frosting Cinco ‘de Chili Chocolate Cupcakes or any Cupcakes for that matter. Make it mild or as hot as you like.
