Grammy Di’s Chocolate Bundt cake
Grammy Di first started baking the moist, luscious cakes 55 years ago and they continue to be beloved by her children, grandchildren and friends. Jackson launched the business in October after graduating from university. One of Dianna’s sons, Jackson’s Uncle Chris, is the CFO. The moist, rich Bundt works as an everyday dessert or a special occasion treat, he says. “When I was a kid, birthdays at Grammy’s were the best because that meant Grammy Di’s chocolate cake with a twist – she baked money inside, so we were always searching for toonies and loonies,” says Jackson. “My favourite way to enjoy a slice is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – Kawartha Dairy complements it the best.” The Grammy Di chocolate Bundt cakes are available in an original iced version or the “Plain Jane” as shown here.
Now we can all enjoy frosted or unfrosted chocolate Bundt cakes for birthdays, Sunday night dinners or other celebrations. Cakes come in 7-inch and 10-inch sizes. Want to try it before buying a whole one? It’s coming soon to the dessert menu at Rustik Local Bistro in Orangeville. Delivery is available within a 20-kilometre radius of the bakery at Airport Road and 5 Sideroad. Cakes can be frozen and are peanut- and nut-free, with no added preservatives or artificial flavours, of course – Grammy Di knows what she’s doing.

Garlic tasting kit Albion Hills Community Farm now has an online store featuring winter produce and baked goods. We’re tempted by the Garlic Tasting kit with six of the farm’s organic garlic bulbs labelled by variety, including Ukrainian, Italian, Sicilian, Korean, Persian and Salt Spring. Sounds to us like a garlic bread taste test waiting to happen.
