CHERRY ALMOND WREATH
I usually serve this spectacular coffee cake on a silver tray with a small artificial poinsettia blossoms and leaves in the center. My daughter and I enjoy making specialty breads like this one and find they make excellent Christmas gives for family and friends. -Gwen Roffler, Grassy Butte, North Dakota
