Holiday-Themed Traybakes

If the name doesn’t say it all, we don’t know what will. These cookie bars are just too good. Made using our very own DeLuxe® Fruitcake, these cookie bars can be made in four tantalizingly tasty flavors: Peanut Butter, S’Mores, Coconut, and Cranberry. Try this Christmas twist on a traditional traybake, perfect for your next cookie exchange.

Pumpkin Trifle

Traditionally, trifle is a European dessert consisting of layers of cake, whipped cream, and oftentimes, fruit served in a tall glass dish. Carefully designed to display every beautiful layer, a trifle is as much a centerpiece as it is an after-dinner indulgence.

Our variation is made using Collin Street Bakery’s own White House Pumpkin Cake and Pecan Brittle. It may appear tricky to construct, but our step-by-step guide makes it quite easy.

Cheesecake Toppings

Our bakery is well known for making delicious cakes. But, what’s less known, is how we also make a lip-smackin’ line of cheesecakes. In classic flavors like New York-Style, Blueberry, Strawberry, Key Lime, Pumpkin, and White Chocolate Macadamia, we offer something everyone is certain to love.

To accompany our cheesecakes, we’ve created a series of toppings. Made from fresh ingredients, these toppings are certain to create quite a buzz.

Fruitcake Stuffing

This year, impress your friends and shock your family with this bold adaptation of a holiday classic. Forget about that boring ole’ boxed stuffing mix. Instead, try this show-stopping and surprisingly simple stuffing recipe made with fruitcake.

Not Really A Baker? Can You Pour?

For some, a fruitcake is not a fruitcake without a little hooch. So, we’ve created the perfect how-to guide for infusing your fruitcake with your favorite liquor. But, beware the heavy-handed pourer. Too much tipple and your fruitcake is a risk of becoming a soggy, alcohol-ridden booze cake. Follow our guide, and all will be smooth sailing.
