So Sorry Its Been So Long!

 

Hello friends!!

It’s been so long! So many things have been going since I posted last. College has gotten the best of me – I have been baking, but so much less unfortunately. I am in a new Bible study learning about grief and how we deal with it…very interesting topic. I was just recently home for fall break and I wish I didn’t have to come back to S-burg. But, Thanksgiving is coming oh so soon – which means I need to bake more!!!!! I am missing my kitchen at home! While I was home at fall break, I managed to bake a homemade apple pie (courtesy of my aunt’s recipe), mini pumpkin cheesecakes, some halloween cookies, and a pear spice cake with walnut praline topping. MMmmmmm. Regretting leaving all of that cake back at home w/ dad.

So, I figured to get back in the swing of things I can show a few pics of just my recent fall break baking – but there is so much more that I need to catch up on! Including my senior interior design project, applying for grad school and jobs, etc. So many things to chat about!

first of all….fall break and bake!

fall =’s pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, spice, and fun halloween cookie cutters!

 

look at all the halloween cookies

Now, on to the mini pumpkin cheesecakes – whew these were adorable.

I didn’t have time to decorate them with little jack-o-lantern faces, but you get the drift.
