Nothing beats the aroma of gingerbread filling the house around Christmas time. And gingerbread cake, what a classic holiday dessert. But the pairing of lemon with gingerbread is brilliant! The warm spices of gingerbread with the brightness of lemon—pure genius. Taking a gingerbread sponge cake and rolling it together with lemon curd whipped cream filling and you have yourself a spectacular holiday dessert!

Molasses Ginger Cookies are an old-fashioned yet timeless favorite. A soft chewy center with the crispy crunch of a sugar-coated exterior makes for the perfect texture. Yet it is the combination of the deep sweet molasses and the spicy bite of the ginger that makes this cookie so satisfying!

Blueberry Torte is one of those vintage desserts that despite its simplicity is absolutely exquisite. This no-bake blueberry torte features blueberry pie filling layered between sweetened cream cheese and whipped cream over a graham cracker crust. So rich and satisfying, a small square is all you need for a refreshing dessert!
…Poppy Seed Torte
Poppy Seed Torte is a staple of my mother ‘s vast dessert repertoire and a feature at many of our family events. It has a graham cracker crust, with a creamy poppy seed custard filling, and is topped with a graham cracker dusted meringue that is baked for a short time to a golden brown. This poppy seed torte was my very favorite dessert growing up as a kid, and is still as good as I remember it.
…Halloween Dirt Dessert
A Halloween classic in my house has always been Dirt Dessert. Dirt Dessert is super fun for kids because not only can you be creative with gummy worms and Halloween candies, it also looks like the real thing! We see this old-time dessert show up on occasion at parties. For whatever reason Dirt Dessert has become a favorite of my kids over the years; so much so that we now make it every year.
