Thanksgiving Yummy Stuff!!

Cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin are filling the bakery with the scent of Fall. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Yummy Stuff is busy baking goodies for your dinner table.

Come in this week and pick up some tasty festive treats that are sure to please a hostess or thrill your guests. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin cupcakes, gingerbread cookie place holders, and pumpkin cheesecake squares are just a few of the delicious seasonal offerings. Bring in your own dish and Yummy Stuff will bake a fall fruit crumble right in it - your guests will think you baked it yourself!

As usual, ordering ahead of time will ensure that we have exactly what you want, when you want it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Granny Logan's Shortbread

Yes, there was a real Granny Logan and, yes, Yummy Stuff's yummy Granny Logan shortbread is made from her tradional Scottish recipe. Granny Logan was as Scottish as they come. Her maiden name was Robertson and she lived in Edinburgh. Grandpa Logan was famous for his rendition of Hail Caledonia!

As you may have guessed by now, Granny Logan was Morag's grandmother. Did you know that the name Morag is Gaelic?

Of course, we're keeping Granny Logan's recipe as secret as the recipe for Coca-Cola (we're convinced it's equally valuable). It's known only to Morag and her mother (who has a Scottish accent to prove her credentials).

What we can guarantee is that the mixture is entirely kneaded by hand and produced in small batches. A rare treat indeed!

Come and pick some up -- $6 for a package of six, or $1.25 for a single bar from the cookie jar.

Cookie Decorating Kits!

Entertaining kids on a rainy day just got yummier! Come into the shop and pick up some ready to go cookie necklace kits.

Each kit contains:

• 5 small flower sugar cookies
• two colours of decorating coarse sugar
• white royal icing
• a disposable decorating bag
• popsicle sticks
  
• a ribbon for stringing the cookies on

Sold for $10 each, the kits are packaged in a little white hat box and tied with a silk ribbon, making it a great gift for a little girl's birthday!

Yummy Stuff will be pleased to provide pricing for individual party favour cookie decorating kits, or a kit for a group of kids. We have lots of fun cookie shapes to choose from, and you can decide how many cookies you want, colours of sugar, etc.

Come into the shop and check it out!

See you soon

Dad's Granola

Morag's dad is a journalist. While he's pretty good at writing, he's less skilled at most things around the house. Even changing light bulbs pose a bit of a challenge for him.

But he is quite handy around the kitchen. Dad's granola is especially yummy. The original recipe came from the internet, but he has refined it over the years with the addition of such ingredients as various dried fruits, pumpkin seeds and golden flaxseed (one of nature's healthiest foods). He uses no sugar, apart from honey or maple syrup. And it bakes for over two hours, giving it an intense flavour that you'll find in few other breakfast cereals (certainly not those bought in the supermarket).

Morag thinks her dad's future may lie in granola rather than journalism, so she asked him to put his famous recipe to work for Yummy Stuff. It's now available at the store at a cost of $8 per jar. Try one -- you're sure to come back for more.
