It’s funny, I just had this idea when sitting down to an end-of-the-year celebration potluck recently.  There were some great desserts there and I was thinking how it would be cool to have a dessert tasting fundraiser.  Something different AND delicious.

Then today I check out some dessert news and find a story about a Dessert Buffet that’s going to help build a well in Peru.  There is a village there that doesn’t have clean fresh water for it’s people.  A woman named Cathy Sherrard began a campaign called “Believe It. Achieve It. Let’s Dig a Well” and is running a Dessert Buffet to raise money for the project to bring clean drinking water to this village in Peru.

Tickets for this All You Can Eat Dessert Buffet are only $5 - what a great deal for all the dessert you could possibly want.

Just another idea of what to do with all of these easy dessert recipes!

Want to make better cakes? Here are 3 useful cake baking tips you may not have known about.

Tip 1: Put a paper towel on your cake while you let it cool to trap steam in and prevent your cake from drying out.

Tip 2: To check if your cake is done, touch the center lightly.  If it’s done, it will spring back.  Poking your  cake with a toothpick or other cake tester provides a way for moisture to escape from your cake if it’s not done and you have to put it back in the oven.

Tip 3: Your cake will rise better if you “comb” cake batter up the inside of the cake pan with a spatula.

Interesting huh?  Try it next time you bake a cake for dessert!
