Not only is this moist carrot cake delicious, it is good for you too. It is completely free of trans fats. And the orange icing provides the perfect sweet zest to top it off.
I'll be honest. I made these cakes for myself. I wasn't even super concerned if they made it onto the blog. I just had a bad craving for little yellow cakes filled with blueberry, raspberry and blackberry jams. It was only after I scarfed down one of each flavor (still warm) that I decided to cover them in fondant.
There's no shortage of inspiration when it comes to using classic fall flavors in my baking. I love cinnamon spiced apples, anything pumpkin-filled and I've been dreaming of what to do with a fat butternut squash that's been sitting on my kitchen counter for a good two weeks now.
"Tea cakes have been around since the beginning of time for Southerners," says Paula Deen. "Have these anytime, with tea or coffee. Just one or two will satisfy." Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Pumpkin buttercream frosted pumpkin cake with a caramel and toasted pecan center. What's not to love? Can we talk about the microwave for a second?

For years I've seen apple dumplings for sale at local bakeries and they just didn't tempt me. The idea of them was appealing but what I saw looked dry and boring and I didn't get the attraction. And the couple of times I've bought them to try, my instincts proved correct.
I have Christmas music playing pretty much non-stop these days. When I'm at my desk, when I'm at the gym...it's my annual binge. And, come the new year, it will be banished again until after next Thanksgiving. One of my favorites has always been Home for the Holidays by The Carpenters and it's made me associate Christmas with pumpkin pie.
On Saturday, Brian and I were invited to a friend's house for dinner. When I asked her a few days prior what she'd like us to bring she said she'd appreciate dessert, maybe brownies or cheesecake which are her two favorites.
