Caramel Apple Cake
Apple cakes are a Fall favorite for me and this year I stepped up my game and made a little apple dipped in caramel sitting on top. I even broke my cardinal rule of not using fondant! Browned buttercream infused with Fall spices is completely addictive by the way. If you don’t do anything else...

Pumpkin Cupcakes
My pumpkin spice cupcakes are chock full of real pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg! I cored and filled with a homemade vanilla pudding, then topped with buttercream; both regular and pumpkin-shaped! I have a soft spot for pumpkin everything but as you might know, I hate fondant. Yes I use it but only...

These cupcakes are a chocolate lover’s dream come true. The cake is rich, and fudgey but with a fluffy consistency that melts in your mouth.

Mini Apple Pies
So I was perusing Pinterest — in an effort to try something new — when I stumbled upon these miniature, apple pies. I had to give it a go! That said, I differed from the original recipe in the respect that I didn’t want to use canned apple pie filling or pre-made pastry dough. That...
Apple Pie Recipe

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Adding pecans to pumpkin cinnamon rolls is literally the best thing ever. The taste and crunch they add complements the soft pillowy dough. HOWEVER cutting the rolls when you add anything hard is a bit more difficult. I made sure to turn my “log” after each cut so it wouldn’t flatten too much. I also...
Spider Web Cake
This cake used my ultimate chocolate cake recipe but it gets topped with a chocolate fudge buttercream. Adding a really nice quality fudge to your chocolate buttercream with a touch more salt just takes the flavor all the way to a hundred and makes for a great pairing with the super-moist cake. If you don’t...

Apple Fritters
I love a crunchy apple fritter. It’s SO much easier to make than a donut since there’s no yeast, no rising, no waiting. Just mix it up, fry away, and enjoy! My fritters have a touch of lemon inside and in the glaze to wake the flavors up but you can also roll in cinnamon...
