October Desserts of the Month 🍎🎃
Two fall favorites. Two ways to earn the dessert order. Put Dianne’s Pumpkin Lava Cake and Valley View Apple Crisp Pie on your specials menu and give your team something irresistible to recommend.
Make the last course work harder for your restaurant. A distinctive pumpkin cake and a familiar, Maine-made apple crisp give guests a compelling reason to add dessert—and give operators creative options for seasonal specials with thoughtful plating and beverage pairings.
Dianne’s Pumpkin Lava Cake
Sweet, spiced pumpkin cake meets a cream cheese filling for a fall dessert with more occasion than an everyday slice of cake. The individual format gives your kitchen a consistent starting portion and makes it easy to build a signature presentation without baking a cake from scratch.
Make it a menu feature: Prepare according to package directions, then finish with a caramel drizzle or sprinkle of powdered sugar. Highlight the pumpkin-and-cream-cheese combination on a table tent or specials insert so guests know why this dessert deserves a try.

Valley View Apple Crisp
Bring a taste of New England to the dessert menu. Made by Valley View Orchard Pies in Oxford, Maine, this apple crisp pairs sweet New England apples with a buttery oat topping. It delivers the comforting apple dessert guests recognize, with a local bakery story your servers can share.
Built for your seasonal menu: The 9-inch unbaked format lets you bake in your kitchen and portion to suit your service. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a classic plated finish, or pair a portion with coffee as a dessert special. Set a consistent slice size and include garnishes when calculating your plate cost.

Turn delicious fall flavors into profitable customer orders!
Give both desserts a visible spot on your menu and train servers to offer a specific choice: “Would you like to finish with our pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling, or Maine-made apple crisp with vanilla ice cream?” A clear recommendation makes the dessert conversation easier and creates another opportunity to build the check.
