Best Sheet Cakes & Slab Pies for a Party

Sheet Cakes_Ricotta Sheet Cake with Berries_recipeThis week, think spring—and celebratory Easter food, like an easy glaze for ham. Plus, the author of All-Time Favorite Sheet Cakes & Slab Pies shares dessert recipes that feed a crowd: Lemon Ricotta Cake, Triple-Chocolate Cheesecake, and the best Gluten-Free Coffee Cake Faith’s ever had. Plus, we tip our hats to Mary Colby, a local baker who took on all 250 recipes in Mary Berry’s Baking Bible. What are you doing to jazz up your Easter ham? We want to know. And finally, Faith dishes about the Food 52 recipe that’s driving her wild at the moment: Kung Pao Potatoes.
