For as far as I can remember my Aunt made this custard filled cake that has what seemed like 100's of layers. Unbelievably good.

These muffins are great. They are not too sweet, have just the right amount of cream cheese, and are nice and filling.

Microwave pecan pie bars: shortbread base, chewy pecan filling, and a semi-sweet chocolate topping. 28 bars cooked entirely in the microwave, ready in 30 minutes.

Cucidati, the traditional Sicilian Christmas fig cookies, with a rich filling of figs, raisins, nuts, chocolate and rum wrapped in tender pastry, shaped into slashed horseshoes and dusted with sugar.

This carrot cake well satisfied my sweet tooth without making me feel guilty. Whole wheat flour and wheat germ provided the cake with some good fibre, by replacing half amount of oil with yogurt reduced the calorie and fat, and eliminating the frosting all-together made the cake much less rich and calorie-dense. But overall it was a very moist and delicious cake indeed.

Chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with milk chocolate chips, chopped toffee bars, and maple syrup. Rolled into balls and baked until just set for a soft, chewy center.

Boston cream pie with two split sponge layers, thick vanilla pastry custard, and a warm chocolate glaze that drips down the sides. The Massachusetts state dessert built from scratch.

Americanized version of Maggie Beer's recipe I saw on Masterchef Australia 2011 the other day.

Light plum or apricot tea cake made with egg whites, orange juice, and fructose instead of butter and sugar. A lower-fat fruit loaf that stays moist for days.

Amish friendship cake with brandy-soaked fruit starter, warm spices, and pecans in a bundt pan. A share-with-friends chain recipe where the fermented fruit starter grows and gets passed along.

Soft peanut butter cookies studded with toffee bits, topped with vanilla icing and a crunchy toffee chip crown. Three layers of flavor in every bite. Makes 2 dozen.

Part 1 of a caramel rum ice cream cake: homemade caramel sauce and a cream cheese cake base spiked with dark rum. Boozy, rich, and built in stages for a showstopper dessert.

Hefty chocolate pound cake with sweetened condensed milk for extra richness, baked in a tube pan and topped with a cooked cocoa frosting that sets with a glossy snap.

Vegetarian fresh corn tamales: masa harina dough stuffed with sautéed bell peppers and corn, wrapped in soaked husks, and steamed until tender. Served with a chunky avocado-tomatillo salsa for a lighter Mexican classic.
