A SweeȬ Slicú

ruth be told, sweets are my favorite, and

cakes and pies hold a special place in my

heart. I associate them with celebrations

py memories I’ve made with my family.

er it’s a milestone birthday, holiday,

ower, or any other kind of get-together,

always somethin’ sweet at the center

.

ve how cakes and pies fi nish off a meal

weet note. When planning the menu

big family gathering, I like to include

wd-pleasing treat that my guests will

mber. I love watching people’s faces light

I bring a pretty layer cake or decadent

o the table. It sets the perfect mood for

times and lots of laughter over slices of

mmy, homemade goodie.

It’s hard for me to narrow down my

orites because I have so many go-tos,

I included a collection of my best, tried-

d-true recipes that fi t every craving

d occasion. In this issue, you’ll fi nd

enty of creamy icebox pies, indulgent

kes from layered to Bundts, batches

f bite-size delights, and prizeworthy

ies you’ll love. I’m also sharing baking

ps for perfectly frosted cakes and fl aky

piecrusts. Whether you choose to make

a Southern staple such as Coconut Cake

or a variation of a classic like my Apple

Crumb Pie, these fl avors can’t be beat!

Cakes and pies come in all sorts

of shapes and sizes, but they all bring

something special to the family table

ar longer than the dessert itself. I hope

inspire you to bake up some sweets and

s are precious moments with your loved ones.

Love and Best Dishes,
