Recap of Last Year’s “Other” Desserts
Some desserts don’t fall into a major category, so I label them Other. Eventually, I’ll update my labels and create a Cake and Pie label, but until then, here’s my Top 5 list of “Other” desserts.
This Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread was a concoction I dreamed up for a Bundt-Off. Yes, I have crazy friends, and yes, this is crazy delicious. I need to make it again…
When a special occasion popped up, I knew instantly that I wanted needed to make this Chocolate Overdose Cake. I topped it with chocolate covered strawberries to add some elegance. It was exactly what you’d expect from a layer of brownie, topped with chocolate mousse, topped with a chocolate cake layer, all overed in chocolate ganache.
When spring rolled around, I made this Lemon Raspberry Cake. It was the first time I had ever decorated a layer cake and I was pretty proud of how it turned out.
The Homemade Ding Dongs transported me back to a time of brown bagged lunches in the cafeteria of my middle school.
And I had to include Hubby’s first attempt at baking on my list. He made this Strawberry Shortcake Cake for my birthday and did a great job at it!











I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 


The lemon raspberry cake looks awesome! I wish I could bake like you!
Yours is my new favorite blog! Everything looks absolutely delicious, I will have to make that Lemon Raspberry cake sometime
Oh, and I live in Wisconsin but visited Boston for the first time last year and LOVED it! Keep posting yummy recipes, have a great weekend!
I am planning on making the chocolate overdose cake for my hubby’s birthday coming up in a couple of weeks. I wanna add a white chocolate mousse. So, I’m thinking about cutting the cake in half and adding it there…what do you think? Would that work? =)
Ashley – I think that would work just fine. Let me know how it turns out.
