Cowin Lush Welsh Cheesecakes

Definition : "Cowin Lush"

In Wales, when something tastes nice, its "Lush".

But when it tastes really nice, its "Cowin Lush".

"Cowin Lush" is a phrase that has often described our desserts, especially our cheesecakes.

So much so that we have decided to launch a range of "Cowin Lush Welsh Cheesecakes", made from fresh cream from the Lush Pastures of Wales.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try an udder one from our range of flavours :

Banoffee, Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry & White Chocolate, Turkish Delight, Cookies & Cream, Welshcake, Chocolate & Orange, Baileys.

The branding was launched at the Royal Welsh Winter Show in November and the response from the general public was very encouraging as we sold over 2,000 individual cheesecake cups in 2 days. Pictured is Sian and Mel at the show:

Baked Apple with Penderyn Whisky soaked raisins for Prince Charles

On Bonfire night, we made 300 desserts for a function being held in Llandovery Rugby Club which was attended by Prince Charles. We were asked to make a dessert which had a modern twist on Apple Pie.

Sian came up with the idea of an apple, baked in Penderyn whisky caramel and then filled with Penderyn Whisky soaked raisins. This was served on a shortbread biscuit with a cinnamon cookie stick placed in the top of the apple, a chocolate leaf decoration and served with a caramel coated marzipan apple.

The dessert was designed to resemble a Toffee Apple.

 

The feedback we received, was that "the dessert went down a storm".

If you are hosting a function and are looking for a supplier to make individual bespoke desserts then give us a call 01639 813166 or send us an email [email protected].

We can supply fresh desserts, delivered on the day of the function for quantities of 500+.

Wedding Cup cakes for the Dylan Thomas

Cup Cakes prove to be as popular as ever for Weddings.

Our latest Wedding cup cakes were decorated with blue and ivory butterflies and were for a wedding reception held at the Dylan Thomas Museum in Swansea last Saturday. The Dylan Thomas is a magical place to hold a function with its high ceilings and hugh windows letting in the natural light. The decorated room looked truly amazing.

 

The bride sent us this email last night :

"Sian – just to say thank you for the beautiful cake and cupcakes. It looked so lovely and everyone has commented on how delicious it was too!  My work colleagues have worked their way through the last few cakes and they were still perfectly fresh today. "
