Ahh, Fall. How I love thee! Sometime around the first of September every surface from entry to kitchen in my house crops up with pumpkins of all kinds, Indian corn, scarecrows, and leaves in all the vibrant hues of the season. I start dreaming of soups filled with Summer’s harvest, whipped up to warm all the little bellies that gather ‘round my table. It’s my favorite time of year when all the world seems to be taking a deep breath of anticipation for the fun and fanfare to come, while still refreshed from the remnants of Summer’s rest. All those plump orange globes sparked the inspiration for my second set of skewers for the Cupcake Skewer contest at Pizzazzerie. Have you been over to check them out yet? So fun, right?
These festive little cakes are spice cake whipped into submission with some pumpkin, baked and cut into their proper shape. I topped them with delicious cream cheese frosting, a pretzel stem dipped in green chocolate, and organic shelled pumpkin seeds for leaves. Mmmm…. you can smell Fall in the air, can’t you?
How do you welcome in the change of the season?
