fall photos

Okay, this has nothing to do with parties or entertaining, but I still wanted to share.  If you don't care, just humor me.  I'm not as organized as others who have a personal blog as well - that would definitely get neglected in my hectic world, so just bare with me when I occasionally put up some totally personal stuff.  Since I can justify anything, I'll just tell myself this is a way of letting my readers know a little bit more about me!!!  Will you buy that!?

Moving on... we recently made our annual trip out to Strawberry Hollow Pumpkin Patch in Guilford, CT so I could take some pictures of the girls.   We look forward to this day every year.  Truth be told, it's one of my favorite days of the entire year.  Enjoy!

fall festival dessert table

This past weekend I put together a fall festival themed dessert table.  Enjoy!  

One fun easy tip I thought I would share... Some of the plates I raised by placing them on top of wood baskets that I found at Target for $2.50!!  I also found the fall wreaths at the Target Dollar Spot.  I put them under the square cake plates holding the mini spice cakes and under the gingersnap cookies basket.  It gives a festive touch for not much money.  

Apple pie sticks - idea from the one and only Bakerella here!

lil' pumpkin cake pops

I'm baking away for an event this weekend - hence the complete lack of posts lately. Sorry, but I warned you my October was nuts!

Yesterday was my first time to make cake pops. I've made dozens of other desserts on a stick, but a cake pop virgin I was. I thought they turned out cute and wanted to share. Since I'm so busy, I just took a quick picture with my iPhone so please excuse the quality. I got inspiration for the design here. Oh, and the queen of cake pops - Bakerella, of course!

I've made several other goodies for this event too and I'll share pictures of the whole dessert table soon. I'm really excited about setting up tomorrow.

Okay, now I've got to get back in the kitchen! It's going to be a late night!
