Recipes — Dessert

A light and delicate cake that has a beautiful crackling crust. This is a great alternative to a standard yellow birthday cake or makes a wonderful breakfast side in place of a muffin or toast. As an added bonus this cake only improves the longer it sits – the cake will keep at room temperature for 4 days.

Our most addictive recipe. A carnival favorite made even better without the high fructose corn syrup. This is a great recipe to bring to family get-togethers, school bake sales or for your next movie night!

As we head into the holiday season, it is always nice to rely on tried and true staples. We have been making these sugar cookies for years and they make the perfect dessert and they make a great accompaniment to an evening coffee.

A perfect summer recipe that takes advantage of the season's fresh nectarines. The cake can be made 2 days ahead of time and can be served as a breakfast cake with coffee or for dessert with the whipped cream. Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar paired with tart nectarines entices the palate and the whipped cream adds a light and airy element to offset the denseness of the cake.

This recipe was born out of two great loves: chocolate and strawberries. Our warehouses are located in Santa Maria, California…home to thousands of acres of strawberry fields. In fact, in 2018, Santa Maria strawberry acreage made up about 25% of the total California crop. We were very picky when we selected our Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar. Crafted in Italy it’s made with real strawberry juice, and you can tell the difference. These rich Strawberry Balsamic Truffles are relatively easy to make, and pair beautifully with a lovely glass of red wine. Buon appetito!
