You have a dilemma. Either you are a parent going to a holiday party and you want to make sure your children have a good time but are still well-behaved. Or you are the host of a celebration and have the dual task of providing fun for all ages while also keeping everyone safe (and your house intact!). Don’t worry, keeping kids entertained during a holiday party is easier than you think!
I am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving foods. Turkey? Take it or leave it. Mashed potatoes? Meh. But the desserts, that is something this holiday got right. From delicious pies and cakes to decadent tarts and cheesecakes this roundup of Thanksgiving desserts has it all. Choose one (or more!) to impress your friends and family.
Happy Thanksgiving!
With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to attempt a dessert that would blow the socks off friends and family. The piecaken to the rescue!! Similar to the turducken, a piecaken is made by baking a pie inside a cake – creating the best of both worlds.
I have attempted this recipe twice. The first trial was a miserable failure, the second pretty good. With a third attempt, I’m sure my recipe would be perfected but I wanted to get these instructions to you in case you wanted to give it a try for this Thanksgiving. Below I’ll fill you in on my tips and tricks for creating a piecaken, as well include some cheater versions that will save you a lot of time. I’ve included the recipe I made up but please note it is not perfected yet but I do explain what I would do to improve it. Happy baking!
