Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease mini muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2. 2 Mix pastry flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder together in a bowl; add water, oil, and vanilla extract and blend until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
4. 4 Mix frosting and green food coloring together in a bowl until evenly combined. Transfer frosting to a pipe bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner; refrigerate for 5 minutes.
5. 5 Squeeze a small amount of frosting onto the hulled side of each strawberry and place each onto a cupcake so the strawberry is in the shape of a tree.

Ingredients

• ✓ pastry flour
• white sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• water
• vegetable oil
• egg yolk
• vanilla extract
• maple extract
• walnut
• egg white
• cream of tartar
• butterscotch pudding mix
• milk
• whipped cream

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. 2 Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
3. 3 Make a well in the dry ingredients; place water, oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and maple extract into the well. Stir together with a wooden spoon, then beat until batter is smooth; stir in walnuts.
4. 4 Place egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl. Sprinkle egg whites with cream of tartar; beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
5. 5 Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/4 the beaten egg whites into the batter. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated; repeat folding with remaining egg whites, 1/4 at a time, folding just until incorporated. Turn the batter into an ungreased 9- or 10-inch tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to eliminate large air bubbles.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Tip the pan upside down over a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to remove the cake; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
7. 7 Beat instant pudding and milk together in a bowl; fold in whipped cream. Spread over cake.

Ingredients

• ✓ pastry flour
• butter
• water
• pork sausage
• bread crumb
• egg
• garlic
• onion powder

Instructions

1. 1 Make the dough: Combine cold flour and 1/4 of the cold butter cubes in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add remaining butter cubes and pulse until pea-sized pieces remain. Add cold water in a steady stream and process evenly until a loose, ragged dough forms.
2. 2 Place dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll dough into a rectangle, then cut into three strips.
3. 3 Make the filling: Mix pork sausage, bread crumbs, one egg, garlic, and onion powder together in a bowl until well combined. Place 1/3 of the filling in a strip onto each piece of dough; roll dough around filling into a log. Refrigerate logs for 30 minutes.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Beat remaining egg in a small bowl.
5. 5 Cut logs into 1-inch pieces. Place pieces, seam-side down, onto a baking sheet, and brush with egg.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden and the center is firm, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven to cool on the pans. When loaves are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to slice the loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Return the slices to the baking sheet.
