I once believed figs were chewy cookies. As a kid, if you told me that figs were fruits, I'd laugh in your face. To me, figs were cookies that came in a yellow box. (The company that makes those cookies I speak of just recently removed "fig" from their name to dispel any confusion because they now make cookies with all sorts of fruit fillings.)
I am completely obsessed with pumpkin. Prior to making this cake I did not realise that I already had two pumpkin related recipes on my blog including a Cherry Tomato and Pumpkin Laksa and Pumpkin Risotto using pearl barley. My desire to make this cake stemmed from a celebratory lunch with my boyfriend.
A sky-high cake consisting of six luscious layers of moist chocolate cake, luxuriously light chocolate mousse, and a finale of rich chocolate ganache! What's more exciting than surprising your Valentine with a sparkly Tiffany ring or a shiny new Rolex watch? Well, nothing really. But this cake comes pretty darn-tootin' close!
You didn't even have to tell me. I just knew you'd be needing this Chocolate Pots de Crème recipe. After all, it is that time of the year. There's Mother's Day, graduations, recitals, end-of-the-school-year festivities and a zillion other events. In May, the list just seems to go on and on, doesn't it?

At last! It's finally fall! I know, I know, calm down, what's so exciting about fall? Well for starters this will be the first fall that I actually get to experience leaves changing color, falling off the trees and raking them up multiple times I'm sure, and buying cold weather clothes.
I know that "Chai Spice Cupcakes" probably seem like more of an autumnal recipe than something to post at the beginning of August. And you're probably right. But this summer's horrendous heat wave has made me long for even just slightly cooler days, so maybe posting this recipe is my way of trying to make autumn come a little early.
