Here's how the Cake Studio team will be ringing in the New Year 2012!
With a classic rustic dessert called a Pear Frangipane. 
Pears, almond paste in a cake-like pastry crust with a brandied caramel sauce, strawberry and a pulled sugar leaf. Sprinkled with icing sugar...of course.
Wish we had Smell-O-Bloggin'...the aroma is wonderful!

All the Best in the New Year from the staff at Cake Studio.

Here's a recipe from Williams-Sonoma...if you want to try your hand at baking one!
