A woman having her hair styled by Frans Van Oers in 1971. The lovely lady pictured at the top of this post is getting the mother of all holiday hairdos by Dutch stylist Frans Van Oers in 1971. It seems that this kind of holiday hair was a thing in the Netherlands as Van Oers was not the only stylist creating these whimsical types of yuletide hairdos. Another Dutchman, Robert Engelander, was also known for coming up with extravagant holiday-themed hairstyles. A different kitschy throwback when it comes to decorating your head for the holidays was the invention of the Christmas tree hat. The hats were popularized during the 1950s and 1960s—though you’ve probably seen at least a few festive folks wearing modern adaptations around town during December.

This is a decadently rich flourless chocolate cake in which the cocoa flavor shines. To counterbalance the cake's richness, I serve it with a scoop of lightly sweetened orange blossom-infused whipped cream and a gorgeous strawberry champagne sauce.

I prefer serving cakes with fresh cream immediately, or the fresh cream starts to fall apart. For this reason, this cake is best put together right before serving.
