We are having strawberry shortcake.

Basically you cut up strawberries, mix with sugar and then have them sit in the fridge for awhile. The longer they sit the more "saucy" they get.

We serve over the Sara Lee Butter Pound cake and some whipped cream.

I made a cheesecake last night.

PHILADELPHIA® Classic Cheesecake

Prep Time:
20 min
Total Time:
5 hr 15 min
Makes:
16 servings
What You Need

1-1/2 cups HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark nonstick springform pan). Mix crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan.
BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
BAKE 55 minutes or until center is almost set. Loosen cake from side of pan; cool before removing side of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

It's really good!

And not that I'm a perfect speller or anything, but it's spelled dessert. The word in your title is the hot sandy place, not a sweet treat. I had a teacher who gave us a simple way to remember the difference--You always want a second helping of dessert--so that way you remember the second 's'.

DD & I made candy using candy molds as her dessert. (She's 5, so I wanted something she could mostly do herself with just a little help from me.)

I'm making berry tartlets.

Coco Lopez Cake

1 (18 1/4 oz.) white moist cake mix
1 (8.5 oz.) can cream of coconut
1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 c. coconut

Prepare and bake white cake mix according to package directions using a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. While cake is baking, pour cream of coconut into a measuring cup and stir until well blended. When cake is done, remove from oven and immediately poke holes throughout cake with a fork.Slowly pour cream of coconut over the cake. Cool completely. Top with Cool Whip and sprinkle with coconut. If desired, use tinted or toasted coconut for a festive touch. Yummy!!


Sometimes I put seedless rasberry jam on top of the cake before putting the coolwhip on and some fresh rasberrys scattered over the coconut on top
