Clafouti Collection

A speciality of the Limousin region of France, the clafouti is a baked dessert of traditionally cherries arranged in a baking dish and covered with a delicious batter.

Here is a mini collection of miniature clafouti that we've just finished.  As well as using cherries, there are plums, pears and apricots (although technically these are 'flaugnarde').

Lesson over! 

You can find them in our Etsy store right now...

Limited Edition Cupid Cake and other Valentine's Miniatures


Each year, to celebrate St Valentine's Day, we create a very special miniature cake in a strictly limited edition quantity.

You can see both side-by-side in the photo above.
