Mama Shirley's Dessert Recipes

Homemade desserts stand out as one of the things that always taste better than store-bought. Mama Shirley loved baking more than cooking, and had a treasure trove of dessert recipes she would use for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions…or quite often for no reason at all.

These are the old time desserts that were the sweet ending to delicious meals, from a time before glossy food magazines and professional baking skills moved home baking out of the spotlight. Spotlight or not, you'll still love every delicious morsel of sweetness from Mama Shirley's desserts.
