1. Béa "C'est un très bon gâteau que je sers au petit déjeuner. Dans une période chasse aux kilos, je n'ai pas suivi la recette à la lettre, souhaitant un gâteau plus léger. J'ai donc diminué la quantité de sucre et remplacé une partie de la matière grasse par du yaourt à la grecque". (June 2023)
2. Jackie "Beaucoup de saveurs et très original". (July 2023)
3. Delphine - "Un nouveau gâteau au bon goût d’abricots. J’ai trouvé le mélange avec les graines de pavot original, cela change et c’est très agréable. La texture ressemble un peu à flan épais". (July 2023)
