Hi all This is a personal request I'm doing Father's day at my house and need a really yummy, no-fail, dessert for about 12 people. My husband's family are dessert connoiseurs (sp?), so it has to be delish! Thanks for any help!!
 
I found a great recipe on the Top Secret web-site- it is a copy of the Lemon Creme crumb cake from Olive Garden. That is what I am making for Father's Day- it serves 12 and it looks very easy to make. I am making all of the components and then putting it together at the in-laws house on Sunday. If you are staying home, make it and then put in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
 
Do they prefer chocolate, sugar free or just anything?
 
If you have the new Stoneware Inspirations cookbook ... the Mocha Cappuccino Cake is FABULOUS!! and GORGEOUS!!
And I think it serves 16...

This month I'm making at shows the Cappuccino Mousse Trifle from the Celebrate cookbook... nothing fancy but it tastes wonderful! Everyone at the shows are LOVING it!

My husband LOVES the Banana Creme Supreme - All The Best...

PC has the best recipes, especially the desserts... most are fool proof!

Good luck!
 
The Chocolate Chip Sensation is great too. Instead of putting nuts on top I put chocolate chips and add cool whip to it using the accent decorator. Or the Banana Split Brownies are awesome too. Not sure which cookbook they are in. But there are some suggestions.
