Saturday, September 12 at PSU: Late-Summer Fruit Meets Fall Flavor

September 11, 2026 / Mio Asaka

SEPTEMBER 12 AT PSU
A MARKET TABLE BETWEEN SUMMER AND FALL

Late-summer fruit is still shining, but the warm, comforting flavors of fall are beginning to make their way into our pastry case.

This Saturday’s lineup brings both seasons together—with fresh figs, peaches, and local plums alongside maple, hojicha, matcha, sweet potato, toasted nuts, and a rather generous pour of brandy.

THIS WEEK’S LINEUP

FIG & MAPLE CAKE

Layers of moist maple cake, fig confiture, custard, fresh fig, and whipped cream, finished with Kirsch gelée and more fresh fig.

HOJICHA SWISS ROLL

A soft hojicha sponge rolled with hojicha cream, sweet mung bean, and fresh peach. Roasty, creamy, fruity, and not quite like any Swiss roll we have made before.

SWEET POTATO BRANDY ALMOND CAKE

A rich almond cake made with sweet potato purée, extra butter, and plenty of brandy. Deeply moist, wonderfully buttery, and made for a long autumn evening.

MATCHA TIRAMISU

One of our most popular desserts is back. Layers of matcha cake and creamy mascarpone filling, finished with a generous dusting of matcha.

TORTA DI RICOTTA

A rustic Italian ricotta torte topped with plenty of golden toasted pine nuts. Simple, rich, and quietly irresistible.

LOCAL ITALIAN PLUM TORTE

Local Italian plums and house-made plum confiture baked into a tender, buttery torte. Juicy, tart, and beautifully caramelized around the edges.

EARL GREY PEACH SHORTCAKE

Fragrant Earl Grey cake layered with fresh peach, local cherry plum cream, and house-made cherry plum confiture.

SEASONAL FRESH FROMAGE TARTS

Our buttery tart shells filled with light, creamy fromage and finished with a colorful selection of seasonal fruit and edible flowers harvested from my garden.

AVAILABLE THIS SATURDAY

Saturday, September 12
8:30 AM–2:00 PM
PSU Farmers Market

Come early for the best selection. We look forward to seeing you at the market!

LABOR DAY WEEKEND PIE SPECIAL & LATE-SUMMER PASTRIES

We’re celebrating Labor Day weekend with a beautiful selection of handmade pies, seasonal cakes, and colorful fruit tarts.

This week’s lineup brings together the last beautiful fruits of summer with the first warm flavors of fall—from fragrant Sweet Henry peaches and fresh figs to Japanese pumpkin, caramel, chocolate, and bourbon.

SWEET HENRY PEACH CUSTARD PIE
with Raspberry Mousse & Raspberry Confiture

Sweet Henry peaches from Baird Family Orchards are layered with smooth custard, bright raspberry confiture, and silky raspberry mousse, all nestled in a flaky tart shell. A beautiful balance of juicy late-summer peaches and tart raspberries.

MAKER’S MARK ORGANIC PECAN & SALTED CHOCOLATE BOURBON PIE
with Bourbon Whipped Cream

A rich bourbon pie filled with organic pecans and salted chocolate, made with Maker’s Mark Bourbon and finished with silky bourbon whipped cream. Deep, nutty, chocolatey, and wonderfully indulgent.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE
with Coffee Whipped Cream

Two layers of silky chocolate mousse nestled in a flaky pie crust and finished with aromatic coffee whipped cream. Richly chocolatey, yet wonderfully light and smooth.

JAPANESE PUMPKIN CUSTARD CREAM PIE
with Salted Chocolate, Rum Raisins & Pumpkin Whipped Cream

Smooth Japanese pumpkin custard is layered with salted chocolate and rum-soaked raisins in a flaky pie crust, then finished with pumpkin whipped cream. Rich, creamy, and full of early-autumn flavor.

MATCHA SWISS ROLL CAKE
with Sweetened Azuki Beans, Fresh Fig & Matcha Cream

A soft matcha sponge rolled with smooth matcha cream, sweetened azuki beans, and fresh fig. Earthy, gently sweet, and beautifully balanced with the delicate flavor of seasonal fruit.

HŌJICHA & SWEET HENRY PEACH SHORTCAKE
with Peach Cream & Peach Confiture

Soft hōjicha sponge is layered with fragrant Sweet Henry peaches from Baird Family Orchards, house-made peach confiture, and delicate peach cream. The roasted aroma of hōjicha beautifully complements the juicy sweetness of the peaches.

CARAMEL PEAR & SALTED CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE

A rich, moist pound cake made with house-made caramel, dried pears, and salted chocolate, then finished with a smooth caramel glaze. Deep caramel flavor, mellow pear, and a touch of salt come together in every bite.

ESPRESSO TIRAMISU

Layers of espresso-soaked chocolate sponge and smooth mascarpone cream, finished with cocoa and dark and white chocolate decorations.

COLORFUL SEASONAL TARTS

The case will also be filled with a colorful assortment of handcrafted tarts featuring fresh seasonal fruits, rich chocolate, bright citrus, matcha, and more.

Available Saturday, September 5 at the PSU Farmers Market.
