National Pecan Torte Day is August 22nd and it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate this delicious dessert. A torte can be served in many ways, including as a decadent finish to a holiday meal. Tortes are a celebration of cakes. They're the centerpiece of the dessert. With a variety of delicious fillings such as whipped cream, jam, buttercream, mousse, and fruits or nuts, you'll never be at a loss for something to put on top of your torte. A baker glazes and garnishes the torte once it's cooled. The baker often uses little to no flour and instead uses ground nuts or breadcrumbs in combination with sugar, eggs, and flavor. Good feelings and good vibes are packed into every bite of pecan torte. The pecans in this dessert provide a natural energy that will keep you going all day. So, even if you only have a small slice of pecan torte, you should still add some pecans on the side to balance out those naughty calories.

National Pecan Torte Day is celebrated annually on August 22nd.
