Pink Almond Party Cake I just left out dealing with making the garnish-- this cake shines on its own. SOOOOO PERFECT! This is one of my all-time favorite cakes to make. It sounds weird.."Almond Cake...hmmmm", but it is seriously amazing! So uniquely flavorful and moist. This is a must try!

Noir Bars I am such a fan of bold, rich, flavorful desserts and these were all of the above. I loved these bars, but the only thing I would do next time is to make sure you use the double chocolate chunk cookie mix! Because the store I went to didn't have this pouch is stock at the time, I followed the expert tips and used a regular chocolate chip cookie mix and added oil and cocoa, as advised. This bottom-cookie-part of the bars came out dry, hard, and crumbly, not allowing the decadent, delicious top part of the bar to shine. If this double chocolate chunk mix still can't be found, a good brownie recipe for the base could be a nice substitute. One other thing is that the combination of the ?instant espresso powder and cream cheese? resulted in a subtle fruity taste. It isn't a bad flavor, just unexpected.

Cinna-spin Cookies THE BEST(honestly)! I've made these countless times; once I set them out for people to eat, they are IMMEDIATELY gone. Everytime I see my extended family, they at least mention, if not beg me, to make these cookies. They're always disappointed when I come to family gatherings without them. Fool proof recipe. If you don't make these you are missing out. Delicious!
