Sweet Endings and Other Desserts


We all know that all that first two hours of eating is merely foreplay for the greatest course of all – dessert.  Tease your guests by choosing one of our pies and pop it into the oven just after the main course and let the seductive smells of caramel and buttery pastry waft through your home.  But whatever you choose there’s nothing more impressive at a dinner table than a beautiful dessert centrepiece.

Listen as the ‘coos’ turn to ‘mmms’ as your guests taste the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry melding with the soft and rich and sweet and gooey.Then in the silence at the dinner table, watch as they purse their lips, eyes glazing over and closing softly.  Congratulations, you’ve just served up a happy ending
