familiarity breeds delight!

.
Our Dufflet Downtown location was sampling out pieces of our Caramel Apple Spice Bundt and I thought I'd grab a quick photo for the blog. Then I thought that since I had done such a hacktastic job of slicing the cake, it would be better if I ate these pieces myself instead of offering them to customers.

Wow, oh wow! This bundt coffeecake has been a staple for us for many years, and it's been a long time since I'd had a taste. Did I say wow already?

I had totally forgotten what a what an amazing blend of flavours and textures this coffeecake has! It's a crumbly moist spice cake humming with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, studded with apple chunks & walnuts and glazed with real caramel.

If you haven't had it in awhile, you really should try it again!

savory handpies for the lunch munch!

.
Available all day and ready for munching are savory handpies from Miss Cora's Kitchen.

Warm and melty, these are super-easy to take-out and munch on the run or at your desk.

Handpie fillings change daily - I've tried the Salami + Cheese and the Ham + Swiss and think they're an awesome alternative to regular sandwiches.

Handpies are $4.25 each, and are currently only available at Dufflet-Downtown (Queen Street West)
