Starting to run low on trimoline and looking to buy a small quantity 22 ounces / 623 grams. Any suggestions on where to buy a small quantity? Last time I purchased this, I got it from L’Epicerie but they are out of stock.

What flavor are these? Is this one of your regular flavors? If your customers are expecting a certain look for this flavor... then rebrand or remake this batch.

I agree, really liked the addition of banana liqueur from Alton Brown’s recipe. Your recipe is similar. I also prefer whipped cream to meringue on top of banana pudding. Your crumble topping sounds delicious!

I think that a Savage Brothers Firemixer will work.

I recommend making your own banana pudding, truly makes a huge difference. I like Alton Brown’s banana pudding recipe. I use his pudding recipe, Peppridge Farm chessman cookies, and homemade whipped cream. Biscoff and vanilla wafers are also great for the cookie component. https://altonbrown.com/wprm_print/refrigerated-banana-pudding For banana liquor, I used 99 Bananas 99 proof, to taste — used much less than the recipe called for.

@KennethT I have a calamondin / calamansi tree; happy to send you some seeds. I'm not sure if they will grow from seeds or if you need to graft. There are a few nurseries in the US where you can mail order the plant and I don't think there are shipping restrictions to New York. https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/a/blog/how-to-grow-a-calamondin-citrus-tree

Did you order a classic too? If so, hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

I'm planning to be there. Looking forward to it!!!

Put together a Trader Joe's gingerbread house kit this weekend. It included a happy tree and woodland creatures. Took a nibble of the foundation, quite tasty. Spices are more like Dutch tai tai than US gingerbread. No complaints. 😉

Update, Gouter’s inventory count was slightly off and now there is a classic panettone heading my way via FedEx!!! 😀

I also suggest providing a slice of panettone-- no butter, no warming. Please try the Goûter panettone "as-is" before testing out variations. Enjoy!

Thank you @pastrygirl. Wish that I could take you up on your offer but those are not any of the chocolates that I work with. Good luck with Valentine's Day... just a short breather before production starts again!

Thank you @TdeV. I have tried Goûter's chocolate panettone and it is delicious but my favorite is their traditional panettone. As a seasonal chocolatier, I see far too much chocolate this time of year! I'm ready for fruit sorbets and citrus tarts. Please report back on your panettone.

@Shel_B I am pleased to report that the new cheese blintzes are quite tasty. I don't think that there are any changes from the original recipe. I went back to Trader Joe's and got a few more boxes of cheese blintzes. 🙂
