The Best of Bridge series are full of tried and true classics from Alberta kitchens. I was living in Calgaty myself back in the day.

I love the Best of Bridge series. I don’t use the books as often as I would like to. These sounds delicious.

Oh! I am loving this idea, Valerie…how did you like them?
Valerie says
Ailynn,
Did I not say in the post. Drop everything. Drop your baby. Sit down. Put down everything before you take a bite – they are THAT good. Addictive. Purely addictive. Ask anyone who has had them.

Hi, i have just purchased a thermomix ( not yet got it but looking at all the great recipes i can cook ) please excuse this silly question, the pictures show you using the thermomix, but reading the instruction has confused me as to what speed etc to do it in the thermomix, or are the instructions the “old fashioned way ” 🙂 when i get my thermomix I’m wanting to cook these delicious little cakes to try my thermomix out … thanks, 🙂
Valerie says
Tina,
After you have your machine for awhile, come back to this page and follow the photos. You will be able to translate so many of your old tried and true recipes to make in the Thermomix. You will be amazed – I don’t remember what speeds and times I used for this recipe. I did mean to write them down, and then just decided to do the photo essay for those of us lucky enough to have a machine… you will definitely be able to make your cake in the TM once you gain some experience with it.
Sorry I am not more help. Next time I make these, i will record what I do and update the instructions here – just for you! 🙂 Valerie
Corey says
Don’t mind me, novice husband baker… Cab I make these as minis? And how would cooking time be effected?
Valerie Lugonja says
Thanks for the Q, Corey! These are minis. I should have made that clearer!
