Hungarian Cake

Hungarian Cake

from My Life in Cookieland

Tena had me at "chocolate-rum cream." You too? Keep reading - it gets better!

This traditional Hungarian cake alternates between thin layers of moist cake and the aforementioned infamous chocolate-rum cream. The icing on the cake? A combination dark chocolate/milk chocolate glaze that hardens on top.

The holidays are coming! And if you're hosting friends and family, you'll need lots of yummy snack and meal ideas. These gorgeous pumpkin scones are ideal. They're infused with seasonal flavors and then drizzled with not one, but two delicious glazes: one sugar, one spice. Serve with your drink of choice, and watch the room light up with smiles.

Kelsey says she had a lot of fun baking these cute mini upside-down cakes, and she makes a great sales pitch:

Well I'm sold! :)

Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls

from The Notorious Experiments of D.D.

I'm like Dee: I associate cinnamon rolls with cool weather and changing seasons. I think it's because my dad makes homemade cinnamon rolls every New Years - it's kind of a tradition in our house, and those rolls usually only show up once a year.

Dee's rolls are "perfectly hypnotically swirled" with "brown sugar, brown butter and cinnamon." They look every bit as delicious and soft as she says they are. I can almost taste them! I think I may need my cinnamon roll fix sooner than usual...

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Cinnamon Butter

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Cinnamon Butter

from Like Mother Like Daughters

My mom made these for the first time a year ago when she started getting sweet potatoes from our CSA. I was skeptical at first: at the time, sweet potatoes conjured up images of sticky Thanksgiving mash. Not anymore! These seasonal biscuits are light and flaky and have more flavor depth than regular biscuits. They're one of my favorites - a perfect savory side for nearly any fall dish.

And if you're still hesitant, start by making the sweet honey cinnamon butter. I guarantee that you won't be able to find enough things to put it on...
