Drupey Pie
I added fresh, ripe nectarines and apricots to this sour cherry pie. These fruits are drupe fruits meaning they are fleshy with a hard stone or seed in the middle. The pie was summery and delicious! I really like to use turbinado sugar--it's less processed and has a good flavor--but white sugar would be fine, too.
Rainbow Sheet Cake
The base of this rainbow sheet cake is a super simple vanilla cake that is topped with cream cheese frosting. You can use any vanilla cake recipe here (or even box mix if you really wanted) – just make sure the batter isn't too runny or the colors may bleed into each other. Feel free to adjust the color palette to your preference! Perfect for a kid's birthday party, or a fun weekend activity to bake with kids.
Butter Frosting
Rich frosting, great on Banana Spice Cookies.
