Carved Pumpkin Cake

Recipe courtesy of Buddy Valastro
This is a real showstopper that almost turns a cake into an Easter basket with basket-weave piping on the sides, grass on top, and Easter candies, jelly beans (representing eggs), and chocolates filling the basket on top. I've got to be honest with you, this cake isn't a walk in the park: The basket-weave piping takes real skill and precision, so this is for more advanced cake decorators. However, if you have some experience with a pastry bag and turntable, or are a quick study, go for it and make this for your next Easter celebration. It's a fun, festive, unforgettable cake that might become a tradition for your family, as it has for mine.

My family went through an oatmeal phase one brutal winter when we all wanted a nice hot bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day. Except for Buddy Jr., who hated oatmeal. Lisa tried everything, but nothing worked, till she tried Granny Smith apples, with a little help from brown sugar and cinnamon. That combination led to these cookies, which are packed with flavor and texture, and just as welcome on a cold, wet day as those bowls of oatmeal were.

Pizza seems like a great party food, but it can be a little messy and also gets cold fast. One year, for a birthday party for one of the cousins, my brother-in-law Joey, who's always been a creative problem solver, had the idea to make pizza puffs, putting the filling inside the dough, in a sort of mini-calzone. As with pizza, you can change the filling, replacing the pepperoni with sausage or vegetables, such as sauteed mushrooms.

Anybody who's ever lived in or near an Italian-American neighborhood and attended a street fair has seen funnel cakes: hot discs of fried dough, crunchy on the outside and soft and warm inside. Powdered sugar is the most popular finishing touch, but I prefer to top them with cinnamon sugar. Whichever you choose, be sure to hit the funnel cakes with it the moment they come out of the oil, so that the sugar melts onto the pastry.

When chef Anne Burrell got engaged to Stuart Claxton, she wanted a wedding with some traditional elements and some unexpected ones. Her six-tier cake was a perfect mix of the two: a creation straight out of a fairy tale — but with totally surprising flavors inside. She called on one of the most creative bakers she knows, her friend Buddy Valastro, to pull off the feat, and together they settled on this showstopper, made with rosemary olive oil cake and lemon buttercream. (To play up the harvest theme of the October event, Buddy decorated it with vegetables molded from Rice Krispies treats!) Here’s a scaled-down cake recipe straight from Buddy so you can try it yourself.
