The love of good food begins at home!
Why Our Kitchen Tools Are a Thanksgiving Game Changer
Serving up sides is what we do every day, and we’ve found that most people are looking for ways to prepare simply good food without spending forever cleaning up. That’s why solutions should come from the tools we use in the kitchen. Not only should each tool serve its purpose, but also, it should offer multiple uses—ultimately helping you save time. We keep that goal at the forefront of everything we design and source.

HARVEST APPLE SPICE CAKE
A Sweet Celebration of Fall Flavors
Thanksgiving is all about gathering around the table, sharing delicious food, and creating memories with the people we love. And while pumpkin pie may be a holiday tradition, there’s always room for something a little different on the dessert table.
This year, bring the comforting flavors of autumn to your celebration with our Harvest Apple Spice Cake, a delightful dessert that captures the warmth and sweetness of the season.
With the familiar flavors of apples and aromatic fall spices, this cake makes a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving menu. It’s the kind of dessert that feels right at home alongside your favorite holiday dishes, offering guests a delicious alternative to traditional pies.
A Dessert Worth Sharing
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is having something homemade to share with family and friends. Whether you’re hosting a large holiday dinner, attending a Friendsgiving celebration, or simply enjoying a cozy gathering at home, this apple spice cake is a lovely way to finish the meal.
Its seasonal flavors make it especially fitting for autumn entertaining. Serve it as the centerpiece of your dessert table, offer it alongside your favorite warm beverage, or save a slice to enjoy during a quiet moment after the festivities.
Make Holiday Baking Part of the Celebration
Preparing Thanksgiving dessert doesn’t have to feel like another task on your holiday checklist. With a little planning, baking can become one of the most enjoyable parts of getting ready for the celebration.
Consider preparing your ingredients ahead of time and setting aside a dedicated baking session before the holiday rush. You can even invite family members to help with simple preparation tasks, turning time in the kitchen into another opportunity to make memories.
And with reliable bakeware and a little creativity, you can focus less on the cleanup and more on enjoying the baking experience.
Ready to Bring This Fall Favorite to Your Table
Whether you’re looking to introduce a new Thanksgiving tradition or simply want to explore another delicious way to celebrate the season, our Harvest Apple Spice Cake is a wonderful place to start.
Gather your ingredients, preheat the oven, and fill your kitchen with the inviting aromas of fall.

Today, our recipe love is all over our Thanksgiving Stuffing.
Imagine this: the blend of European and Native American recipes dating back to the 1621 harvest feast is still inspiring love and offering traditional comfort at Thanksgiving tables across America.
One of my family’s most cherished Thanksgiving recipes—which I always crave—is the simple stuffing my mother made. It wasn’t a long, drawn-out process or filled with gourmet ingredients. Instead, it used leftover bread and staple produce most people already have on hand. Even now, my family requests this dish every year. It’s not fancy—it’s simply made from the heart and reminds everyone of good food at home.
Best of all, the traditional base gives you room to make it your own. You can add dried cherries, cranberries, walnuts, or chestnuts for a savory-sweet delight. Whether you keep it classic or get creative, it’s perfect in any shape or size with our FORTEEZ molds. We especially love the ease of individual servings. For this recipe, we used the FORTEEZ Mini Loaf Tray for simply good portions. https://boncook.com/recipes/thanksgiving-sweet-and-savory-stuffing/
Pre-make Items
Many French dishes, like quiche and crêpes, can be prepared ahead of time and simply reheated before serving.
To stay stress-free, make what you can in advance and pre-prep everything else the night before. This way, you’re not scrambling on the day of your French Brunch.
Personally, one rule of thumb I follow is to never leave the house on the day of a gathering. It helps me stay focused, minimizes stress, and makes the event more enjoyable—for both me and my guests.
I usually begin prepping up to 7 days ahead. Definitely by 2 to 3 days before, I’ve already set the tablescape and pulled together all my settings. One great tip: use sticky notes to label each serving dish. This eliminates the last-minute scramble when it’s crunch time. When it comes to food, cook or bake ahead if the recipe allows. Remember—quality over quantity is the French way!
Set the Table Ahead
Set your table the night before to avoid last-minute rushing. Go ahead and arrange your flowers the evening before, too—they’ll open up overnight and look even more beautiful by brunch time.
For a small, intimate gathering with close friends, I love creating mini bouquets for each place setting. These make lovely take-home gifts for your guests. Roses work perfectly—they’re easy to find and stay fresh for days. Again, the French way is all about keeping it simple and elegant.

Customer Love
BONMAT has cut the time in half that it takes to bake cookies due to the size of the Large BONMAT. I can bake not 1 but 2 dozen cookies at a time, and they come out perfectly! Debbie Timmons
We were thrilled to receive this BONMAT review from Debbie Timmons! Thank you, Debbie! We designed the large BONMAT for that exact reason. Our design was the first in the market to allow home bakers to bake more and save time while using the same mat. We thought: Why bake 12 cookies when you can use the same mat to make 24? Happy Baking from our BONCOOK kitchen to yours!
