Yummy Pumpkin Treats!

Now you all know I don't care for cooking much but I love to bake!

The Goal: Mini Pumpkin Cakes


The Ingredients


The Helper


The Result

Hmmm, not quite like the picture but in my defense I chose to use the caramel-rum glaze instead of the vanilla glaze which is shown in the first picture but next time I think I'll do the vanilla because I like how it looks better against the pumpkin color. The rum glaze was delicious though! Now those worm looking things are supposed to be vines {I know you're totally laughing right now} There is a picture of one of the pumpkins with vines and the recipe tells you how to "curl" the caramel- umm, there is no curling caramel so they end up looking like worms unless you have some curling instrument as far as I'm concerned. All in all these were very good and the girls loved them!!



Go here to get the recipe out of Southern Living Magazine!

  7. It's not about the look. Which isn't that bad, btw. What people (especially family) will remember is how it tasted. And any cake with frosting is going to taste good. I might try this one. But I'm not posting pictures, LOL

  9. That looks delicious! I too love to bake. My favorite is this time of the year especially christmas when I bake tons of gourmet cookies. It is so relaxing and the smell fills the house.
