Sweet As Pie
Some may say pie is the perfect dessert. Enjoyed warm, straight from the cooling rack, topped with whipped cream or paired with cool vanilla ice cream. It doesn’t matter how you serve it, pie has become an all-American, always delicious dessert. Everyone has their favorite kind of pie. For me, it’s homemade coconut cream pie.
My 21st Birthday Coconut Cream Pie
At my family Christmas party everyone always saves room for Auntie Judy’s orange, lime, and chocolate pudding pies with the graham cracker crust. Last week for Thanksgiving it was my mother’s sweet-but-tart, out-of-this-world lemon meringue pie that makes my mouth water …

To Market, to Market!
We’re at our first “pit stop” of the day at Market inside of the W Hotel. Weren’t we pleasantly surprised to find out not only are they not only serving just one dessert like we originally thought, but four! They are all displayed beautifully in the middle of the dining room. They have a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting that has been a huge hit! Also featured is a strawberry cake with white chocolate filling, devil’s food cake with chocolate buttercream, and last but certainly not least a toasted coconut cake! YUM!
