Spring bakes...

Lemon Curd & Raspberry Crêpes

Vanilla & Almond Plum Cake
A fresh flavoured sponge cake layered with Bonne Maman Mirabelle Plum Conserve, spread with creamy ricotta frosting and decorated with flower petals and rosemary to give it the true Spring look. You can also opt for our Peach or Apricot Conserve if you prefer. This cake it not only beautiful, but it is utterly delicious!
Lemon & Raspberry Meringue Tart
Citrusy, buttery lemon curd mixed in with juicy raspberries on a biscuit crumb base topped with caramelised meringue… what’s not to love? This recipe is a perfect size for big Easter celebrations, but for smaller family festivities, simply half the quantities. You can even try different variations through the Spring season by using a mix of summer berries or ginger biscuits for the base.
