My favorite holiday dessert is homemade Lemon Sour Cream Pie. I don’t know why, but something about the flaky crust and rich lemon filling topped with fluffy whipped cream reminds me of the holidays! I swear I look forward to it every year.

My favorite desserts are coconut sponge cakes. They’re better is sandwiching cream that isn’t too sweet, and topped with a chocolate tuille.
My favorite holiday desert is cheesecake cookies! All the benefits of the taste of cheese cake in a calorie consumption con tolled portion. Not everything over the holidays has to add 5 lbs to be delicious.

I am thrilled to have been chosen the winner of this cookbook. I also feel very fortunate considering the number of entrants involved. Trust me when I tell you that I plan to bake my way from cover-to-cover and blog about my experience. I should probably also shop around for some slacks with elastic waistbands. ;-)
Thanks so much, Average Betty!
