Okay so I’ve got my next two recipe projects:
Cinnamon vanilla cupcakes with Mexican hot chocolate buttercream - We know how I feel about cinnamon in any variation! Yummy!
Chocolate Pumpkin Cake - I don’t eat pumpkin pie thanks to a frightful incident as a child (stringy pumpkin chunks anyone?) but I’ve learned to enjoy it in other things in small amounts. And I’m trying get a little more daring with it, beyond my Pumpkin Spice candle. I think this will be perfect.
Braiden will not be eating it and not because of the pumpkin. He said he’ll eat chocolate if it’s someone else’s choice for *their* birthday but otherwise no, he’s strictly a vanilla fella these days. He will however love the first recipe.
My cheesecake is ready for the Apple Festival tomorrow – I hope it’s received well. I mean it’s no pie, ha, but it’s smelling really good.
Happy fall baking!
Oh wow, the cinnamon cupcakes are awesome! I didn’t have coffee to add so maybe that mellows out the flavor of the icing a little, but this has such a yummy spicy kick to it.
Braiden had his with some leftover cream cheese icing which looked pretty good too.
