Baking Demonstration - Almond Plum Cake

Summer is here and so are all types of ripe, delicious fruits!

For this simple almond cake, Chef Chris Thielman and Karen Thielman are using fresh plums, but feel free to substitute peaches, apricots or berries.

Comme vous voulez!

Warning: the aromas of this cake baking in the oven are so heavenly that you may have trouble waiting for it to cool before taking a bite!

AF DuPage continues a new concept – the mini-Zoom session – a 20 minute focused presentation on a French-themed subject.

Most  sessions will take place on Thursday afternoons promptly at 12:30 pm, a  perfect midday break to add some French culture into your schedule.

Stay tuned to this page for information on future Mini-Zooms in 2023. 

The  topics and presenters will vary. Most will be conducted in English, but  we may add some French language mini-Zooms into the mix. Zoom links are reserved for AF DuPage members and will be sent out the day before the session. Visit our Membership page to join or renew your membership.
