Scrumptious S'Mores Cake A twist on the childhood indulgence, this confection combines graham cake with chocolate ganache, marshmallows, and vanilla buttercream.

Raspberry Dacquoise Cake Almond-and-hazelnut meringue joins vanilla buttercream laced with raspberries and crème framboise in this divine standout (recipe here), complete with sage-green fondant and piped golden raspberries.
