Easter desserts for all - whether you love or loathe chocolate

We're launching some brand new desserts next month that are coming out in time for Easter and spring. Pretty good news hey?! The even better news is that both chocolate lovers and chocolate haters can rejoice because our sweet treats will suit all tastes. Yep, it's true. We're not just making chocolatey desserts to celebrate Easter, we're making a mix of different options that will also be perfect for spring. You could say there are a few strings to our bow....or you could just call us greedy. We'd like to think that we're just generous and keen to please. What's more, you don't even have to wait that long to get your mitts on these great new treats. They will launch on 8 March and will be available to buy through our friends over at Abel & Cole - http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/.

The Easter desserts will include the fruity Raspberry Trifle, which is a must for anybody avoiding chocolate, as well as the decadent Chocolate Roulade which will have chocolate fans craving more. The spring desserts are traditional favourites and are sure to be a hit with cheesecake aficionados across the country. There are the Light Blackcurrant Cheesecakes, which come in individual ramekins, and also the classic Lemon Cheesecake (530g). They sound pretty tasty don't they? Well take a look at them in all their glory too...

Looking pretty blooming lovely aren't they?  We have our talented team based down in Somerset to thank for these beautiful looking treats.  They are a rather clever lot down there and we think they are owed a round of applause.  *claps loudly while the rest of the office turn round to see what is going on*
 
FoodBev.com thinks the desserts sound rather tasty too.  So tasty in fact that they've put photos of them on their website in the 'Innovations' section.  That's right, we're innovators.  Hurrah!  Check it out here: http://www.foodbev.com/innovations/easter-dessert-range-from-what-on-earth
 
If you want some of our desserts log on to http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/ and buy some.  It's as simple as that.
 
Peace, love and Easter pizza

What On Earth

Our winning taste of Christmas is in high demand - and it's not even available yet!

Everyone loves indulging in a traditional dessert at Christmas time but it seems that one treat in particular is already in high demand – even though it isn’t even on the shelves until 12 December.  What is that product exactly?  Oh yes, it’s our popular Chocolate Yule Log which, as you know, was given four stars by the Guardian and came in joint first position in the paper’s Yule log taste test.

We have just started producing our chocolate Yule log for the festive period and word has already got around.  More than 300 orders were placed before production even started and this demand is expected to rocket, especially as the cake has become famous – in its own right of course!

The popular cake, which we make exclusively for Abel & Cole, is made with organic ingredients and each one is individually handmade at our Somerset based patisserie.  The popularity of the Yule logs has grown year on year and Christmas 2010 saw demand outweigh supply, even though more than 500 cakes were produced.  Abel & Cole customers are now putting their orders in early and queuing up for the dessert so as not to miss out.  And who can blame them?

Along with the Chocolate Yule Log, What On Earth has also recently launched seven other Christmas desserts for Abel & Cole, some of which are available now.  These tempting festive desserts are:

-          Chocolate and Raspberry Roulade

-          Sherry Trifle

-          Raspberry and White Chocolate Macaroon

-          Fudge Brownie cheesecake

-          Orange /Vodka cheesecake

-          Large Chocolate pudding

-          Brandy Custard

Our White Chocolate and Raspberry Macaroon

Our creamy Sherry Trifle

This means we now sell almost 20 different desserts through Abel & Cole.  To see the new products please visit: http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/christmas/puddings-desserts. 

Yule not believe it...or maybe you will

Our Chocolate Yule Log is a joint winner of a yule log Christmas taste test carried out by The Guardian.  HURRAH!

Our delicious festive treat got awarded four stars by the well known food writer Marina McLoughlin.  She used lines such as “This looks great”, “It tastes like real cake!” and “the icing is gorgeously thick and buttery” to describe it.  The word excellent was also used so we are ecstatic.  Not only are we greatly appreciative and proud of this accolade, we are also extremely flattered.  We’re so happy that our cakes our being recognised and enjoyed.  I think we should say a great big THANK YOU to Marina for loving our product.

Our winning yule log in all its glory

The Chocolate Yule Log, which is being sold through Abel & Cole, beat other yule logs from the likes of Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Asda.  We are therefore thrilled to be able to compete against the big dogs...and ultimately win, on this occasion.  We came joint first with Waitrose too - another big dog in the food industry.

Our winning dessert can be purchased from www.abelandcole.co.uk  and is available from 12 December 2011.  Be quick though, these babies fly off the shelf every year so get your order in pronto. 

Peace, love and pizza (and four star desserts).
