Happy October! Happy Fall!


Hooray!
I am so happy it is Oct. already. Where has the year gone?
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the colors/smells/sounds/ tastes of fall.
I LOVE the fruits and veggies of fall. (Yes! I'm a closet squash lover!) I love to bake all things apple and make homemade applebutter.
I love to cook down fresh pumpkins and freeze the pulp so that I have delicious pumpkin at my fingertips all years round- for cakes and more!

Since I'm still unable to bake per Dr's orders- I have been creating yummy fall cakes in my head. As soon as I get the go-ahead from the Doc, I'll be experimenting and perhaps posting some recipes!
(How does nutty caramel apple cake sound? Apple cake, caramel filling packed with pecans?)
What about pumpkin spice cake and delicious cream cheese filling?
Or even better- pumpkin cake layered with dark European Ganache for a "Dark chocolate pumpkin cake"

Well, In honor of the first day of October here is a picture of a pumpkin cake. These are very fun to make, an a perfect accent to any fall party table!
