FROM OUR RECIPE BOX - Peach Melba ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a moist, rich cupcake with a subtle almond flavor and melting texture. This versatile is the star when frosted with rich chocolate ganache. Or it performs a supporting role in a summery dessert like Peach Melba. Much has been written about Dame Nellie Melba the Victorian-era international opera diva. (Born Helen Porter Mitchell, she changed her name to Melba in homage to her birthplace Melbourne, Australia.) Time was when chefs honored such stars with culinary creations, many that outlasted the fame of their namesake. Chef Auguste Escoffier bestowed that honor on her several times; Peach Melba, a peach coated in raspberry sauce over ice cream and Melba Toast, exquisitely thin toasted bread, are two that remain on menus to this day. Peaches and raspberries share the same season and compliment each other in color and flavor. Our little almond scented cupcake absorbs the melting ice cream, sauce and fruit juices allowing you to savor every last mouthful. | |

FROM OUR RECIPE BOX - Pistachio Ice Cream ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Smooth and creamy with the rich taste of pistachio nuts. That about says it all. We like to serve our ice cream freshly churned and somewhat soft. Pistachio ice cream is delicious with chocolate sauce or chocolate shavings. | |
|
PASTRY TIP - Lemon Sugar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you juice a lemon, grate the zest into a cup of sugar. Save the sugar to use in tea, sprinkled on top of fruit or in any recipe that calls for a lemony taste. Works well with orange and tangerine zest too.

TIME SAVER - Junket Ice Cream Mix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
company that manufactures Junket Dessert, the rennet custard many of us grew up
eating, also makes a convenient all-natural and gluten-free ice cream mix. When
you are short on time, it is an easy way to make fresh ice cream instantly. (To
use their mix with our Love'n Bake Hazelnut or Pistachio Pastes, we recommend
that you add 1/3 cup of Pistachio or Hazelnut Paste and an extra 1/2 cup cream
to one package of their plain Vanilla Ice Cream Mix.) | |
