Dessert

[Wonder Woman]

I've been given the honor of making dessert for Mother's Day. I say honor, because my family is full of women who all have a talent for baking. I was shocked when they asked me. Anyone have any good ideas? It needs to be something that can travel in a cooler or something. I am a good baker, but my artistry needs work. Desserts that have been family favorites are French Silk Pie and Italian Creme cake. Anyone know of something I can wow them with without having to do extravagant decorating?

true, and I did just get an angel food cake pan for Christmas from my Mom. I'm also thinking about Tiramisu because my Grandma gets that every time it's on the menu.

I enjoy Snickers bars.

My Mom and I do too. Thank you for the suggestion!

you could buy one of them electric ice cream makers and serve up some home made strawberry ice cream. just dump the ingredients in and push the button. it will be a huge hit but im sure someone would infer as to your cheapness and laziness. you know how women are.

Grids recipe sounds really good. I must admit I read thru it twice and couldn't believe there wasn't something strange like bats eyelids in it.
