PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISON Don’t worry, this confection from Philadelphia only looks like cute little potatoes, and actually contains no spuds at all! Imagine the texture of a chocolate truffle but with cream cheese, coconut, and vanilla instead. The outside is coated in ground cinnamon, giving it an uncanny likeness to the real thing.

6St. Patrick's Day Cake
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GORE We think we found our pot of gold with this epic top hat-shaped rainbow cake. While it does take a bit of time to assemble, it's actually pretty straight-forward. Once you start assembling the layers, the tricky part is done—just don’t forget to fill your cake with Lucky Charms before putting the top layer on!

PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: FRANCESCA ZANI If the end of the rainbow led to these mini desserts, honestly we wouldn't be disappointed in the slightest. They're made from box brownie mix (although you can make homemade brownies if you prefer), then decorated with whipped cream "clouds," a candy rainbow belt, and gold sprinkles. Have fun with it!

13Checkerboard Cookies
Erik bernstein These checkerboard cookies look far more complicated to make than they actually are. Really, they're just a classic vanilla and chocolate sugar cookie, with the two colors being made from the same dough. One gets a little cocoa powder added, the other half some food coloring, and there you have it—a cute way to add some green to your holiday spread.

14Rhubarb Crisp
PARKER FEIERBACH Hot pink does not equal a better tasting stalk of rhubarb. (But it is a lot prettier.) You'll want to look for firm, crisp stalks, nothing limp or speckled with a lot of blemishes. If you can't find fresh, use frozen!

17Mince Pies
PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: FRANCESCA ZANI Ask your average American what a mince pie is, and they’ll likely wonder if you were talking about shepherd’s pie. Ask someone from the UK? They’ll tell you that it’s probably the best type of holiday dessert you can ask for. Though more typically seen around Christmas, we think these would be adorable with little shamrocks cut out!
