![]() ![]() ![]() It is still important to mention the wonderful support that the MASSARI TEAM, led by the best Italian pastry chef (a narrow definition), is giving to our customers. In the high-level ice cream market, with semi-finished products that fully comply with the traditional philosophy of total naturalness of the ingredients and non-invasive techniques of production: the group called ARTISTI DEL GELATO (ICE CREAM ARTISTS) that follows us with enthusiasm, is a proof of this fact. While devoting maximum efforts in research and development to the classic pastry channel, lately AGRIMONTANA has made its entrance. Thanks to the strong ILLY Group s investments in the modern plants for the production of chocolate couvertures for workshops, AGRIMONTANA now has a potential chocolate production of a Professional nature and absolute excellence. From 2006 onwards, the collaboration with the ILLY Group, who entered into participation in the AGRIMONTANA company, has allowed the development of industrial and trade synergies, culminating in the introduction of a range of chocolate at the highest level for laboratories, produced by DOMORI in Turin, and in the meantime acquired by the ILLY Group. ![]() The nineties marked the introduction of the marron glacé, with a strong action of positioning the brand among the consumers, with innovate lines of consumer products. In the mid-seventies starts the production of fruit preserves both for the final consumer and for the confectioners.

This isn't something I'm interested in doing for money or for a party I can't attend, but I'd love the excuse to bake any of these cakes once or twice. I can't pull something off like the Arnold Palmer Cake I baked in an early blog entry without an event in mind.Īnd so here's a list of the cakes in the MMB cookbook that I am willing to bake for events and birthdays if I like you enough.
