Yes Kgirl,

It was all fresh and everything from scratch. I like to put this dessert in the freezer for an hour or so and then take it out , let it sit, and then serve. It's the type of dessert on a summer day that tastes great when served very cold.

In fact it is wonderful dessert that can be served all year round.

In the fall it can be switched to an apple and cinnamon with toasted almond slivers / pumpkin pecan and maple crunch topping.


It truly is a versatile dessert.

Took the dog blueberry picking on Sunday. Made a nice crisp. Vanilla ice cream last night, whipped cream tonight!

 

 

 

 

 

Buba,

 

Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

 

I have made fresh blueberry Italian sorbette this morning for dessert for after our main meal lunch today on Tuesday. 

 

I had learnt to prepare it at a course I was taking at the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute of the Madrid Capital earlier this year in Sorbet Making. *** Here are the results;

Chocolate fantasy...dessert from the dinner menu...and raspberry parfait..mmmm

I have this idea and I am going to make it this week on my day off.

Its a Michigan Apple Trio.

A single serving Apple Taten, cider gelato and an apple cyser.

I am going to do 3 different apples, the cyser was made a year ago with honey crisp.

I’m thinking Empire Cider for the gelato and Id like to go Gala with the Taten.

Garnish with an apple crisp or even a small fried piece of prosciutto.

Thank you everyone. They said it  was a good cake. I never got to taste it as it was served on someone else's shift. I try to assemble the sugar work so it takes minimum time to take off the cake.

 

DJ : Those are flavors I enjoy pairing, my top 5.

 

Dezie : I would be interested in knowing how it went. I just picked up 20 pounds of Honey Crisp and some Cortland. You have to love this time of year.

 This was assembled Saturday for my niece,  Black Forest Cake.

Today I made Tarte Tatin. Do ever have days when you start off making something, you feel its going to go bad then all of a sudden, it worked, well today was one of those days. You just never know ...the minute you flip the plate,  if the pie is going to listen to your beating heart which is saying " You better not stick to the bottom or I'm going to ....".

 

Last Saturday was my bday so my wife made me the beautiful cake.

 

 

 

Now there is a woman that loves her man !!! The cake looks great.....ahhhh its chocolate, how can you go wrong ? How old are you now ? 28 ? There about ?
