Do you know the different types of dessert sauces?

Take a look at our Dessert Sauce Glossary and see how easy it is to glam up your desserts.

The most ordinary brownie or slice of pound cake can be turned into a special occasion treat with the right sauce and a glamorous garnish.

And check out our dessert and wine pairings. What wine would you choose with chocolate cake? How about apple pie or pecan pie? Or Tiramisu?

(By the way, the appropriate wines to serve with Pears Hélène are Sauternes, German Riesling or Vouvray Molleaux.)

The plainest piece of gingerbread goes
glam with the right sauce and garnishes.
