Jonathan Elias is a contestant on “Halloween Wars”

October is known for the candy and treats but that’s not only because way to celebrate Halloween. It is also National Dessert month and today is National Dessert Day! There are many desserts and treats we can eat but there are also a few we can make, especially with the kids. Pastry Guru Jonathan Elias joined Jason Carr to show off one easy treat that incorporates both candy and Halloween fun! The steps are simple: just take a simple bundt cake recipe, your favorite colorful candy like m&ms, and some orange frosting.

He is known for competing in several baking competitions on the Food Network. Try making his multi-tier chocolate naked cake with fresh berries! This cake is considered naked because there is no frosting coating the outside, so you can easily see the layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and fresh fruit. To make any baking experience fun and easy, Elias recommends always keeping the basics- flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, baking powder - in stock, so you are ready to go.
