Posted by Denette Wilford on August 20, 2020

Desserts are difficult to make — at least that's what many people believe. But you don't need to be a professional pastry chef to create a beautiful baked good. Molly Yeh's recipes are both impressive and delectable and will give any meal that showstopping finish that everyone will remember, yet they're also surprisingly easy to make. But don't tell your guests – if they find out how easy these desserts are to make, you'll be asked repeatedly to bring the sweet treats to every social (and socially distant) gathering.
