don't need cupcakes for makin' whoopie ...

.
Interesting read in the Toronto Star (The next baked thing: Cupcakes’ days numbered?) about what will replace the cupcake as the next big thing.

Dessert specialty shops come and go, but Dufflet Rosenberg has been baking a wide range of treats for over 35 years, and has long offered alternates to the cupcake like her delectable 3" mini pastries, tarts and cheesecakes and for the last year, a few flavours of Whoopie Pie cookies.

Apparently Whoopie Pies originated from the New England area (this kind of thing is always up for dispute!), and ranging in size from palm-size to dinner-plate (according to the baker) normally consist of a flavoured creamy filling sandwiched between two chewy cookies.

Dufflet's Whoopie Pies (in chocolate with peanut butter or strawberry filling) are handy in size and not messy to take with ... anywhere!

And don't panic, we still make 5 flavours of cupcake too (including an amazing Pink Velvet with creamcheese icing!) :D

pastries, café + flowers ...

.

Demarco-Perpich Flowers will open their second location on July 6, sharing the space with Dufflet Uptown at 2638 Yonge Street (across from Sporting Life).

talking about taste ...

.

Sunday's 20th annual Toronto Taste 2010 benefit blended delicious foods + bevvies with new + old friends in a drive to raise funds to support Second Harvest.

Dufflet Pastries has been one of the event's food sponsors right from the start and this year's dessert offering was a (very popular!) mini Strawberry Dacquoise with Cocoa Hazelnut Meringue. The Dufflet table was manned by Dufflet Rosenberg and Heather Chu (Dufflet Small Indulgences brand manager).

Part of the fun (asides from the constant noshing) is meeting other chefs ... and fun photo ops! Here's The Queen of Cake standing next to (or should I say, kinda under?) Michael Smith (Canadian chef and writer, host of a number of shows that have appeared on the Food Network Canada).

For more information on donating to Second Harvest, please visit www.torontotaste.ca

no eggs, no milk ... very vegan chocolate cake!

~

Made with spelt flour (for those sensitive to gluten) Dufflet launches a delicious 4-layer Vegan Chocolate Cake which contains no eggs nor dairy in 2 sizes ... 9" (10-12 slices) and 6" (6-8 slices).

Available only at Dufflet's 3 cafes, be sure to order your Vegan Chocolate Cake at least a day in advance ... quantities are limited, and made-to-order tastes better anyway, right?

Enjoy!

Good to know - Some people who are allergic to wheat may be able to tolerate spelt. Spelt has gluten, just like wheat, so spelt is not suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Ingredients: Water, Spelt Flour, Sugar Cane, Organic Icing Sugar, Non Hydrogenated Shortening, Canola Oil, Cocoa, Soya Milk, Vinegar, Natural Vanilla Extract, Salt, Baking Soda
