Little Peach Cobbler Cakes

Little Peach Cobbler Cakes 

These sweet little cakes are the perfect treat for a summer picnic and pair wonderfully with an afternoon cup of strong english tea. They are reminiscent of nights spent by the campfire roasting marshmallows and baking peach cobbler over the hot coals. These individual cakes are pleasantly sweet, moist, and fresh... they are truly a delight.
