Here at Upper Midwest Gourmet, we carry Ghirardelli sunrise unsweetened cocoa, and as a baker looking to expand my horizons, I couldn’t help grabbing a sample of sunrise cocoa to try a few new recipes. (If you find that you have a similar urge, give us a call and we can send you a sample of your very own.) So, I decided on Red Velvet cupcakes and after finding them to be delicious, used some of the ingredients I had on hand for another recipe- buttermilk brownies.

Do you like Key Lime Pie? Me too. My favorite new Gelato flavor is Key Lime Pie using the Fabbri recipe from our recent Gelato workshop. It’s creamy and sour and little pieces of yummy graham cracker crust, oh, I feel like I’m in South Beach when I’m eating it.   It’s the perfect summer flavor and it’s soooooo easy to make.  Want the recipe? Give us a call and we’ll tell you how to make it.

Cheers, David

We had a blast at Coffee Fest Minneapolis this year and want to say “Thank You” to everyone that stopped by our booth and chatted with us.

Our Flamenco coffees were very well-received by all and we are glad that we waited until to this show to unveil our newest dark blend, Minnesota Mudd! The Rancilio Lever machine pulled some amazing Matador espresso shots to anyone that needed that extra caffeine.

The Barista Fria Smoothies and Frappes (with the awesome ice shaving machine) definitely caught a lot of people’s attention. Per usual, we were the only ones with Italian Gelato and Sorbetto that we made fresh for the show! Also starring in our booth were the new flavors from Cappuccine being blended on a Vita-Mix blender (Cafe Mocha Chip & Mint Chip Cookies and Creme) and the new flavor from Big Train being blended on a BlendTec blender (No Sugar Added Vanilla Smoothie).

It is customers like all of you that took part in the show that make our jobs as great as they are. We will continue to work as hard as possible to serve you as a leader in the cafe industry. At Upper Midwest Gourmet we pride ourselves on being more than just a  distributor and a roastery, but a business that makes sure your busines is successful.

Here are some pictures from the festival:
