Anybody else into baking / dessert making?

I love baking and making desserts! Some of my favorites are traditional southern style things my mom use to make. She's from the south but my dad is 100% northern Italian so I got a little of everything growing up. I baked my own birthday cake from scratch this year. I do cookies, baked custards and creme brule', cakes, etc. I also love to experiment.

Some of my favorites are..
-Banana pudding dessert w vanilla wafers & cool whip.
-Strawberry jello filled angel food cake.
-Monkey bread
-Bread pudding
-Rice pudding
-Ambrosia fruit salad
-Whole Apple Dumplings with caramel sauce
-Lemon bundt cake w/lemon glaze
-Blondies w/pecans
-baked custards and creme brule'

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

Holy cow, Foschi's got some baking talent! :O That's awesome! :)

Lol it was all my moms fault! I wouldn't even know what these things are if it wasn't for her. My parents owned and managed a few restaurants in my lifetime and everything was always home made. She never went to school for it. She was just a natural when it came to cooking and baking.

She made home made pasta, sauces, beer batter, frostings, soups, everything. It was a feast every day at my house. I don't cook like she did but when I do, I go all out.

I also make a roast leg of lamb with potatoes and veggies that will turn anyone into a lamb lover!

Well I said I would do it, and here they are... my home made mini churro's:D. They are so darn good.
