What's an Almond Torte?
Good question! Tortes are a type of cake and are typically more dense and rich. My almond torte is much shorter than a cake and has a consistency that is similar to a brownie. The term Almondine (or Amandine) means "to be garnished with almonds" which is appropriate since all almond tortes are sprinkled with almonds on the top. Almond tortes are great for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert! They also go great with a cup of coffee or tea.
New Look and New Faces!
If you've visited this site before, you might notice a few aesthetic changes! Don't worry, if you're looking for almond tortes, you're in the right place! My name is Megan, and I started Almondine six years ago in order to raise funds for my 8th Grade East Coast Trip. I continued this business throughout high school in order to raise funds for upcoming Missions Trips throughout my high school years. In years past, I have gone to Tecate, Mexico, Dagupan and Binmaley in the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, and served in local missions in East Palo Alto. I have taken a step back from Almondine since starting college, but I am coming back with very exciting news! My sisters, Rebekah and Sarah, are joining the Almondine team! They're both students in High School, and are excited to start going on their own adventures!
