Since most of us will be spending Valentine’s Day at home, I thought some at home table side drama like a Baked Alaska with cotton candy flambé would be just the fun we need! This Baked Alaska is layered with raspberry sorbet, vanilla bean butter cake, vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries. It is all topped with toasted fluffy pink meringue and a raspberry cotton candy cloud. The whole thing is dosed is flaming rum for dramatic effect.

Finish it off with a few swirls of whipped cream and a healthy drizzle of the caramel and you have one show-stopping no bake dessert.

Read MoreI tried several recipes and tweaks before getting these hand pies right. You need lavender but not too much that things taste like soap. You also need sweetness but not too sweet that you can only taste sugar. The filling needs to be thick enough that it does leak and the dough has to be thin enough that to cooks all the way through when fried. I landed on a crisp pie with a delicately sweetened filling. It has a wonderful floral aroma but is not too overpowering. If lavender isn’t your thing you can just dip in granulated sugar or even add some lemon zest to your sugar before dipping.
