Today it is Athanasia’s father’s birthday! So, Happy Birthday George! What better way is there to share the joy of a birthday than making a birthday treat? When Athanasia (my better half) and I were discussing the options for a sweet treat, I came up with this idea.

Try it for yourself, it’s the perfect autumn treat! Continue reading Autumn in New York Cream Pie
