Much Needed Fall Break


With fall break here my youngest and I decided to have a cupcake bake-off. She loves to be in the kitchen and I love watching her work her "magic". We each came up with our own signature cupcake and had our family vote on their favorite. We had such a great time and I will cherish these memories forever. Her cupcake was decorated with the Oct. 31st pick and was a spice cake with a pumpkin flavored buttercream frosting (she created her own homeade frosting....I was super impressed). Mine was the crow cupcake and was a yellow cake with homeade chocolate buttercream frosting drizzled with caramel with a small sprinkling of sea salt (think chocolate covered pretzels). She loves photography so we staged our cupcakes and photographed them while pretending we worked for a major magazine (think Country or Southern Living). Hope you are all having a fantastic fall season!
