Why are they coming over anyway? Are you inviting them? Is it tradition to have them over and now they expect it every year? Have you tried asking them for dessert with a very specific request? For example, a chocolate cake from Costco. I think if you narrow down their options to thinkgs like wine, ready-made dessert, etc you will be better off. Be clear that this meal is cooked by you to honor them and you do not want them to work at preparing anything.
