At Epicurious, it’s always cake season, but holiday baking holds a special place in our hearts. We’re devoting our weekends to spiraling yule logs with pistachio cream, delivering rum-soaked black cakes to loved ones, and impressing our dinner party guests with Mont Blancs piled with chestnut squiggles. As we near the end of the year, we hope you’ll bake your own fruitcake, pain d’epices, kransekake, or whichever cake fits your celebration style, and settle into a cozy chair to read a bit about the history of these sweets.
We’ve updated our cake recipe finder to include 23 new desserts—as well as the stories behind them. Click around, find your next baking project, and be sure to save a slice for Santa. |
