Forget presents and eggnog–our favorite thing about the holidays is Christmas baking! Add a homemade touch to your gift-giving this year and treat your friends and family to packages of chocolate bark.

Brownie sundaes were a highlight of many people’s childhoods. A rich brownie topped with your favorite flavor of ice cream, whipped cream, nuts and chocolate sauce… it was heaven. Nigella Lawson urges us all to reconnect with our inner kid through her recipe for decadent brownie bowls.

Not everyone wants to indulge in a rich or heavy dessert after dinner. Treat your guests to these light individual pavlovas topped with fresh fruit. The dessert is a perfect combination of tangy and sweet, thanks to the juicy pineapple and mango and tart berries on top.

Sweet tables take the cake when it comes to our favorite wedding obsession! Izabela Chmielewska and Stephanie Brown are the dream team behind Sweet Table–a company that specializes in creative, oh-so-adorable dessert tables.

Gone are the days when a chocolate fountain was enough to impress your wedding guests (thank goodness, right?!). Modern couples are looking to create sophisticated, memorable experiences for their wedding guests, and the food they serve plays a large part in that–especially when it comes to dessert.
