Entertaining Made Simple!


Want something different for dessert that you can say you created?  But you don't have the time to create it from scratch!  Then start with one of our seven signature dessert (liqueur) cakes for a spectacular dessert.

Alone, our hand-made confections literally melt in your mouth.  We incorporated only the finest liqueurs into the batters, and after baking only that flavor remains, not the alcohol! These cakes are available year-round so you can enjoy the Irish Cream with coffee or your favorite beverage on more than just St. Patrick's Day!

The most popular way to enjoy these moist dessert cakes is topped with fresh fruits and dollop of whipped cream.  This is a healthier alternative at weddings, anniversaries, bridal showers or any gathering! Let our cake flavors be what guests enjoy and remember about your dessert, instead of the traditional heavy frostings with added calories.  But, if time allows and you enjoy decorating, these cakes lend themselves to that as well.

In the summer time when grilling, place a slice on the top rack or low heat grill surface, and toast the cake to help bring out the flavor of the cake.  Then enjoy with fruit or favorite topping!

Another popular simple idea is to pair one of the cakes with flavored ice cream and a favorite topping - holiday peppermint ice cream with hot fudge is delicious served with our Chocolate Rum cake.  And Butter Pecan with Caramel topping is over the top when served on our Cahlua Café cake!

Key Lime and Lemon Drop are refreshing desserts by themselves, but try chilling the cake then cube to use for a chocolate fondue!  

If really adventurous, slice layers of Cahlua Café and spread each with mascarpone or a rich custard. Dust each layer with a rich cocoa, then top with whipped topping and chocolate shavings for a decadent Tiramisu delight.

OR - Make a trifle by cubing the Lemon Drop cake then altering with layers of fruit and pudding /or yogurt. You can even create a sensational Strawberry Shortcake using our Strawberry Daiquiri cake, whipped topping and fresh strawberries.  And how about a Peach Melba with juicy peaches, tart raspberries over our Amaretto Cake topped with vanilla ice cream.
