Kalamata Olive and Oregano Mini Loaves

These savory little Kalamata Olive and Oregano Mini Loaves are perfect for an afternoon tea table.

I think these Kalamata Olive and Oregano Mini Loaves would also be lovely cut into tiny slices and spread with a bit of goat cheese or tomato jam and served as an appetizer.

Tiny Chocolate Layer Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Ganache Frosting

My grandsons (with an assist from grandma) made this tiny chocolate layer cake for their dad on his birthday.

Their dad, my son, had to work on his birthday, which kind of stinks. A lot. On the upside, we got to watch the boys all morning while their dad was at work... which translated into "let's make a cake for daddy!"

I'm all over this one.

Apricot, Almond, and Toasted Coconut Muffins

Apricot, almond, and toasted coconut muffins baked in mini muffin pans! They make it so easy to justify having just one more. After all, they are so tiny!!

They are filled with toasted coconut, toasted almonds, and lots of dried apricot bits. They aren't overly sweet either, and are perfect for breakfast. Of course, if you want to be sinful, you can eat them warm (or re-warmed in the oven), slathered with some butter and apricot jam... not that I would do that... ahem.

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes with a Gingersnap Crust

These mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes are the perfect little holiday treat. The crust is so simple, just a gingersnap dropped into the bottom of a muffin tin, and, because these are muffin-sized, they're pretty foolproof.

Even if the tops of your cheesecakes sink too much, or even crack, you can hide any flaws with a spritz of whipped cream. These little cheesecakes are also wonderful for using up any leftover pumpkin puree you might have.
