The first Bon in our Proper Fancy lineup is So A-peeling, a decadent mix of carrot cake and crème brûlée. A caramel shell filled to the brim with silky smooth custard, combined with the natural sweetness of Michigan carrots, and topped with that crème brûlée classic — caramel flakes ✨
Michigan ranks fourth in the nation for carrot production, and we felt it only fitting that we celebrated this achievement with a Bon! We've made a carrot cake Bon with cream cheese frosting in the past (many, many years ago), and we make the 1 Carrot Gem Bon of the Month every September, but this time we're treating the carrots a little differently. For the Proper Fancy collection, our aim was to take these Michigan grown ingredients and present them in the golden limelight that they deserve 🥕
We've had some amazing crème brûlée all over the country, from spots like Parc in Philly, Chez Maman in San Francisco (pictured), and The Raven's Club in Ann Arbor, but we haven't come across a carrot one yet! If you have, let us know where you found it, but for now make sure to pre-order the Proper Fancy collection so you can experience our version 💖
