Some Recipes
From Our Kitchen to Yours
We were fortunate in our baking industry, we could purchase an egg stabilizer that kept our beautiful Sweet Magnolia 3’’ high meringues fresh and stable for two weeks. You can’t buy this product in the grocery stores anymore. However, in our family, most pies will not last two days anyways so the meringue does not need to stay fresh for very long!
This is one of our customers favorite berry pies. The second-best way to eat a Tripleberry Pie is to turn the pie over on a platter, gently stir, and serve with ice cream as a cobbler!
This three layer beautiful cake is served every year at our families’ Christmas celebration! It is a dense, very moist beautiful red cake, and we ice it with fresh homemade cream cheese icing. It is so heavenly, you can’t eat just one piece!
Carrot Cake is a very popular, healthy cake. Freshly grated carrots, raisins, coconut, pecans and crushed pineapple make this a wholesome, yummy dessert!
