The texture is almost as dense as a pound cake but with more of a melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The poppyseeds are soaked overnight making them moist and easy to savor. http://www.grouprecipes.com/19185/ukrainian-veselka-poppyseed-cake.html I got this recipe from my mom. She loved to bake and was darned good at it! This is probably the lightest baked version of cheesecake I've made or eaten. I'm not sure that it's light in calories but the texture certainly is! Be careful though...one bite and you might need someone to tie your hands behind your back to keep you from eating the entire pan!!! http://www.grouprecipes.com/19123/easy-breezy-cheesecake.html I didn't like pumpkin until I discovered this recipe in a book from the library. YUMMY!!!

Granted I'm not the best pastry "chef" on the planet but this recipe hasn't failed me yet in the "flaky" department! http://www.grouprecipes.com/19105/my-perfect-piecrust.html
