ย Getting in the kitchen and baking tasty treats on a Sunday afternoon is what soothes my soul. Wouldn’t you agree that this is the perfect stress reliever? Donsuemor made my experience even more enjoyable and delicious with their moist and delicateย Madeleines,ย a french butter cake. These cuties were the perfect addition to my Coconut Cream Cupcakes. Not only are they beautiful, but you can great creative with these cakes and add them to any dessert recipe or simply enjoy them by themselves with a big glass of milk.
I’m thrilled to be sponsored by Donsuemor, a pronounced company that offers French-inspired baked goods that not only focuses on high-quality ingredients but also quality over quantity. Isn’t it so refreshing to see a company put the extra effort into offering perfection? Not only are their Madeleines to die for, but theirย French Almond Cakeย is another one of my favorite sweet treats. Y’all, these are seriously so delicious and even better dipped into a big cup of hot coffee.
I ordered a box of 30 cookies thinking I would freeze some to use for future recipes. That was wishful thinking… they were gone within a week. My husband usually isn’t a fan of this kind of cake, but he wouldn’t keep his cute hands out of the box. He has declared that these are his new favorite. As for my 3-year-old, I ended up having to hide them from her because I kept finding used cake wrappers in her room. That little sweetheart was sneaking into the pantry and taking them back to her room to enjoy. I know what your thinking, what about me? Let’s not get into that right now, I may get embarrassed. Let’s just say I had my fair share in demolishing these delightful cakes.
