Cookies:
Every week I make an assortment of cookies. There’s the traditional chocolate chip and coconut macaroon. I occasionally include something different, such as semolina with crystallized ginger and walnut/cranberry biscotti.

Cakes:
All made in a very reasonable size, six inches in diameter. They freeze really well. Store one in the freezer for unexpected visits from friends.
Caramel: A quite unusual dense and moist cake, made with a caramel sauce.
Chocolate mocha rum: Moist and rich, with lots of flavor. In my opinion, the best chocolate cake yet.
Cream cheese fruit pound cakes: Very moist cakes. I make them with an assortment of fruits, such as apricot, pineapple, blueberry, and orange.
Assorted other cakes: Ginger, ginger pumpkin, lemon, coconut, pear/walnut, and plum. All quite dense and moist. When I make fluffy cakes they are angel food, or sponge.

Pies:
All made from scratch, the old fashion way. Some of the flavors are apple/peach, strawberry/apple, strawberry/rhubarb, blueberry, pear, peach, mixed berry, pecan and pumpkin. Many other combinations show up depending on what is in season.

Tarts:
Fresh and baked fruit tarts with a clafuti (custard) base. Delicious, very pretty to look at and a nice gift for any occasion.
