October is National Dessert Month

National Dessert Month

"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" What the British band Pink Floyd was really saying was "No dessert for you, young lady, until you clean your plate!" In America, we know pudding as a sort of creamy, sweet mousse and therefore do not refer to the generic term "dessert" as "pudding."

What pudd--er, I mean, dessert recipes can you find at CDK? Only everything under the sun! From quick drop cookies and bars to elegant, sophisticated cake recipes, you'll wish you were here when pondering what type of dessert to make for those upcoming seasonal parties.
