Gingerbread Donuts

These cute mini donuts use our Gingerbread Spice to bring holiday flavors to the breakfast table. We couldn't decide between two different garnishes in our recipe testing, so we included them both. Dunk them in the sticky maple gingerbread glaze or roll them in gingerbread sugar, according to preference. Can't decide? We'd advise you to split the difference and make some of each, like we did!For those who might be discouraged from trying doughnut recipes due to the frying involved, we are relieved to say that these were baked. After much experimenting, we decided the yeast donuts were best, and everything else came easy. Easy enough to, say, make a double batch and garnish your eggnog or hot cider for an extra special treat.

Mini Pumpkin Cakes

Experience the rich history and cozy flavors of fall with our Poudre Douce Pumpkin Cakes. This spice blend has ancient origins in medieval Europe, where 'Poudre douce,' meaning 'sweet powder' in French, was a cherished culinary secret. It added warmth and sweetness to dishes during times when sugar was a luxury. Our Pumpkin Cake pays homage to this tradition, blending the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with baking spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Each moist, perfectly sweet bite is a reminder of why we adore autumn.
