Angel Food Cake with Macerated Strawberries

This is a cake that’s perfect for entertaining - it’s a mile high, feeds a crowd, and is best made the day before you eat it! If you’ve never had it, it’s a feather light cake that reminds me of meringue. I flavor mine with a mix of vanilla and almond extracts for just a hint of flavor. There’s nothing better on top than sweet, juicy macerated strawberries. The brandy balances out the sweetness of everything else perfectly, and the cake acts like a giant sponge to soak up all of the ruby red strawberry juices.

Making a Store Bought Dessert Into a Fancy Dessert

We've all seen the cases filled with sad fruit tarts, stale cupcakes and cakes that are a bit past their prime. I decided to give a classic custard fruit tart a face lift and turn it into the boujee french dessert called mille-feuille (pronounced meal foyyy, for all of the non-French speakers like myself). It's got beautiful layers of crisp, buttery cookie, soft and creamy vanilla mousse and a bright, tart berry coulis!
