Dessert of the Month

Newest Offering - Dinners for 4

I believe in preparing my dishes with the "Changing Seasons" as my inspiration.  But I have been known to “cheat” and throw a fresh Raspberry on top of a Ganache Cake or at the center of my Pineapple Upside down cakes in the Winter months. 

These are just a few of my baked goods offerings. The menu changes on a weekly basis. Click on any thumbnail for a larger image or click on a link from the menu listing.

Tarts

RUSTIC APPLE TART - This Is my most popular item. Jonagold apples baked with spices in a rustic tart form with flaky crust brushed with special glaze.

RUSTIC STRAWBERRY TART - These tasty treats are made with sweet juicy strawberries.  I offer them with and without chocolate ganache drizzled on top. 

RUSTIC PINEAPPLE TARTS - I am going tart crazy. I enjoy the vision of these golden sweet pineapple tarts wrapped in flaky pastry set up next to all my other tarts. I like the idea of all those jewel tones. This is of course made with fresh Pineapple.

APRICOT ALMOND TART - Ground almonds topped with a tasty Apricot spread.  I put out samples of these last time I offered them.  They were so popular that I sold out of all that I made and ended up selling the rest of the uneaten samples.  That's pretty popular!  

BLUEBERRY RUSTIC TARTS - Yup...its true, I am bringing out the BLUES!  Just a very small Summer preview peak of wonderful Summer treats to come.

RUSTIC ANJOU PEAR TART - Tender juicy fragrant pear slices with just a hint of sweetness.

Meringue Tarts are hand held flakey little tarts topped with tangy lemon curd, banana cream pudding, chocolate puddings, fresh cranberry curd, coconut cream to name a few....all topped with a beautiful fluffy lightly golden crown of tender meringue.

LEMON MUFFINS - I couldn’t resist including lemons when they are so beautiful this time of year. Sometimes I bake them as mini muffins so you can eat more than one. These are low fat with a bright lemon glaze drizzled over the top.  But most people buy them just because they taste so good.

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS - Fresh strawberries baked into a sweet muffin batter.  I couldn't resist. Strawberry season is so close at hand.

LEMON ZINGER HONEY MINT TEA - Served iced.  I made a big batch of this tea to sustain me during my long baking hours.  We all became addicted to this herbal offering with fresh mint from my garden.

RHUBARB LEMONADE - Does it seem like I am getting a bit carried away with Rhubarb?  It's probably true.  But I just LOVE Rhubarb.  I am also a big fan of gummy bears and sour worms thanks to my kids.  Rhubarb lemonade has all that great sweet tartness and such a pretty ruby color.  Maybe this is a great intro for those of you out there that are still missing out on this great spring treat.
