Baked my Fig Cakes and we enjoyed them fresh and gave them a couple of times to the boy that helps with our garden since he's the eldest of a family of 7 kids. <br />The fig, onion and blue Stilton cheese combination sure makes for a very tasty bite!<br />Hugs,<br />Mariette<br /><br />PS The birds also claimed the last ones, they constantly were snacking on them!
