Thanksgiving Dessert & Cake Ideas in Northern Virginia
Thanksgiving is about the table, and dessert gets to be the happy finish. Here are warm, autumnal ideas, from a centerpiece cake to a spread that gives everyone a choice.
Fall flavors
Warm, seasonal flavors shine: spiced cake, dulce de leche, and tres leches all suit the day. Everything is from scratch, so the flavor is the point, not just the look.
A dessert spread for the family
Instead of one dessert, a small cake plus an assortment lets everyone choose. A box of Peruvian pastries adds something a little different to the usual lineup.
