Baking to Beat the Clock - Ten tips for quick summertime treats.

1. Angelic Chocolate Sundae - Dress up store bought angel food cake slices with a dollop of Love'n Bake™ Chocolate "Schmear"™. Top with black raspberry and a sprig of mint for a dreamy summer sundae.
   
   
2. Super Cinnamon Toast - Want a special breakfast when you're in a hurry? Spread warm slices of freshly toasted raisin bread with Love'n Bake™ Cinnamon "Schmear"™ and butter. Pop back into the oven for a minute until the topping bubbles. Your family will think they are eating in a gourmet B+B.
   
   
3. Instant Almond Berry Shortcake - Slice pound cake and spread with Love'n Bake™ Almond "Schmear"™. Toast then top each slice with strawberries and whipped cream. The almond flavor adds an unexpected twist.
   
   
4. Creamy Sorbet Shake - You don't need milk to make a creamy, nutritious shake. Add a tablespoon or two of Love'n Bake™ Almond Paste to the blender along with fresh sliced peaches, nectarines or berries and sorbet for a frosty treat with a hint of almondy goodness.
   
   
5. Rice Crispy Treats for Grownups - Fold ½ cup Love'n Bake ™ Hazelnut Praline into your next batch of crisp rice cereal bars. Serve with a tall glass of strong iced coffee.
   
   
6. Picnic Fruit Crumble - Fill individual ramekins with sliced peaches and berries. Crumble vanilla wafers. Blend in a few tablespoons of Love'n Bake™ Almond Paste. Sprinkle over the fruit and bake until fragrant and bubbling.
   
   
7. Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes - Fill mini phyllo cups or tart shells with Love'n Bake™ Chocolate "Schmear"™. Bake in a moderate oven until the filling bubbles, about 3 minutes. Garnish with a fresh cherry or a banana slice for a magnifique ending to a summer supper.
   
   
8. Cappuccino Ice Cream Sandwiches - Let a pint of your favorite coffee ice cream soften slightly. Swirl it with Love'n Bake ™ Cinnamon "Schmear"™. Sandwich the ice cream between gingersnaps or sugar cookies. Roll the edges in toasted nuts or crumbled cookies. Freeze then serve.
   
   
9. Blueberry Almond Bars - Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper then press in refrigerator cookie dough to cover bottom of the pan. Spread with a layer of Love'n Bake™ Almond Schmear™. Top with 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Crumble more cookie dough over the top and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool then cut into bars to serve.
   
   
10. Festive Coconut-Grilled Fruit - Dip slices of pineapple or banana in coconut milk then dredge in sugar. Place on a hot grill and cook until the slices are golden on each side. Serve with a dollop of Love'n Bake ™ Chocolate "Schmear" ™ which will melt over the warm fruit.
