Dessert Baking Recipes for Pies, Cakes, Tarts, Brownies, and More

My dessert page features varied treats such as brownies, cupcakes, tarts, and tortes. Any type of baked dessert which is not either a cookie or 6-inch pan recipe will be found here. You'll find links, photos, and descriptions below to every dessert recipe. Crowd-pleasing desserts don't have to be a three-layer masterpiece. You can still feed a crowd with a simpler, one-layer creation. Check out my Blueberry Ricotta Cake or Cinnamon Apple Torte for easy party ideas. For the chocolate lovers in your family or friends, try my Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake. Simplifying the dessert helps you focus on dinner prep and lessens time spent in the kitchen. Your guests will still love the final course. Sometimes only a rich, decadent dessert will suit your needs. My Chocolate Raspberry Tart fills the bill for an after-dinner showcase dessert or as your contribution to a pot-luck affair. The chocoholics in your family will request it for every occasion. When only down-home goodness will do for a summer picnic or dinner on your screen porch, try my Deep-Dish Peach Cobbler. It is equally delicious served alone or with your favorite French Vanilla ice cream. In blueberry season, take a look at my Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie. The pie is a great use for fresh blueberries, creamy and bursting with blueberry flavor.
