Rhubarb and Strawberry Layered DelightOMGoodness - this trifle-like beauty will steal the show at your next dinner or event. Don't let the 3 layer preparation turn you away, because you can make & bake the shortbread crust and chop the rhubarb the night before, then prepare the middle cream cheese filling and the fruit topping next day.

Southern Coconut CakeRose Levy Branbaum's "Heavenly Cakes" (2009) was the inspiration for trying something new for our springtime desserts.

Dazzling Red & Green Layered Gelatin DessertShowy and stunning, this dessert is a labor of love (or insanity!) to make. There are 16 layers made from 8 packages of red and green gelatin, and each layer requires a few minutes to set before the next can be added.

Pumpkin Pineapple Walnut CakeReminiscent of carrot cake, this recipe lends easily to sweetness modification or whole grain flour substitutions to your tastes. The first time around in making it I was tempted to tweak it using less sugar and oil.
