Ono Hawaiian Bread Pudding

Aloha! We made you something really exciting this week. My own original island inspiration. Every taster swooned. It's Hawaiian bread pudding.

This baby starts out with a loaf of sweet Hawaiian  bread than gets studded with macadamia nuts and pineapple. It's then soaked in a coconut rum-infused custard and popped in the oven until golden brown and puffy. And as if that weren't enough, it's served with a coconut rum creme anglaise, which is basically boozy melted ice cream. It's aloha on a plate and so extremely ono!

We worked with the fantastic photographer Monica Szczupider to get these great images of this new tasty treat. She made our bread pudding look as good as it tastes. Thank you so much!

We've also been working on an updated website for you and hope to get started on the new logo soon. We're doing our best to make it easy for you to order your favorite treatsies.

There's still plenty of work today be done. I've been spending most of today doing math, which is definitely in my bottom 10 of ways to spend an afternoon. But that's what it takes.

But you know what makes up for an afternoon of boring math? Sugar! Have some Hawaiian bread pudding. I promise you won't be able to think about anything else.

Citrus Cocktail Cupcakes

I haven't posted in a while. What's that? You hadn't noticed? No worries. I'll make it up to you. Let's have a cocktail and a cupcake. All in one.

The first cocktail that comes to mind when I think about Hawaii is a mai tai. Even though it wasn't actually created here, there's probably not a single bar that doesn't serve them. But if you search the internet for mai tai cupcakes, you'll only find one recipe. It's delicious, but it doesn't taste like a mai tai. I was suspicious immediately, as it didn't contain anything pineapple. So, it's back to the drawing board for the mai tai cupcake, but that didn't stop me from eating about eight of these.

This cupcake is citrusy and boozy all at once. It stays moist for days. There's an orange and almond custard surprise on the inside that all my tasters loved. You can't stop eating them. They're perfect for a girls night or a Tuesday night. Just eat them. Then have a mai tai. You won't regret it.

Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding

We used gorgeous handmade baguette from Finga's in Taichung to make this enticing treat.  Spiked with rum and laced with chocolate chips, this bread pudding is unforgettable.  It's crunchy on top with a warm squishy custard underneath.  You absolutely have to have one.  Send us your requests, and we'll deliver it straight to you.
