Pumpkin Explosion

Thinking of treats for Thanksgiving - but my family is tired of pumpkin pie. Let them eat cake this time!
We wanted something different. I found a great pumpkin cake recipe and I turned it into Plump Pumpkin Cupcakes. They smelled and look great, nice and fluffy -  but how did they taste? I left the judging to my boys:
"Amazing!" - my son
"Mouthwatering!" - my godson
"Delicious! I want more." - my nephew

...and my youngest nephew, with his frosting mustache:
"Yummy! Yummy! My tummy wants more..."

I think we can safely say that these new cupcakes were a hit. One of my nephews named them Pumpkin Explosion!

Marshmallow Flower


Cold Weather!
Who doesn't love hot chocolate and marshmallows. These Extraordinary Flower Cupcakes are made with buttercream, marshmallow and a touch of sand sugar for color.
