Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

"That unique presentation is everything: Pineapple upside-down cake is baked with rings of canned pineapple slices that become sticky and sweet during their time in the oven. After baking, the cake gets inverted in one big flip so that the pineapple rounds end up topping the cake as its displayed upside down—or right side up, depending on your point of view. A cherry in the center of each pineapple ring adds a whimsical polka-dot sensibility to the cake." - comment from Southern Living about the cake.

This cake brings back so many childhood memories.  My nana made it a couple times every month.  I had forgotten about this delicious cake with an awesome presentation.

Easy Fudge Bites

"These melt-in-your-mouth morsels are dainty dynamos. Making the fudge—a mix of marshmallows, chocolate, and milk—is literally a flash in a pan. Then, simply form them into balls and roll in snazzy toppings like freeze-dried raspberries, pistachios, toasted walnuts, and peppermints." - comment about fudge bites from Martha Stewart.com.

Quick and easy, perfect for gift-giving and so versatile!

Key Lime Cake

From the Recipe Creator: Unlike the pie, this Key lime cake is topped with a decadent cream cheese frosting. You can top it with graham cracker crumbs as a nod to the original pie crust.  If you’ve ever had a true Key lime pie, you know it’s a real treat. Every bite of the pie is creamy, with a balanced sweetness and wonderful tanginess from prominent Key limes. But for those who prefer cake to pie, this Key lime cake recipe is the perfect alternative. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Sounds delicious and the cream cheese frosting paired with the tangy cake is the perfect pairing.
