Pumpkin Special!

So, we just celebrated Halloween (for those that celebrate it), and now we are in the full swing of the holiday season. Here is a pic of my kids all dressed up:

We had a bug/insect theme this year: Ethan is an ant, Hannah is my ladybug and Abby is our little bee

Doesn't it seem like the holiday season is starting earlier and earlier every year?!  I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, this is definitely my favorite time of year, but I am not too sure about seeing Christmas decorations one aisle away aisle from the skulls and cauldrons for Halloween in October!  Anyway, I want to help YOU celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday by offering up a great deal on my delicious pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.  So, if you order a dozen or more of these treats by Friday, Nov. 16th, they will be $20/dozen (that is a 20% discount from a regular dozen!).  Just think, you can bring something yummy to the Thanksgiving table without lifting a finger!  And for those folks with smaller needs, a half dozen will run you only $10!  Oh and did you know that I make mini-cupcakes as well?  Two dozen mini's are only $16.  Just think of all the time you will save not having to go get the ingredients and bake and decorate.  These would be a great alternative to pumpkin pie, or as fun little treats before or after the big meal.  If you enjoy decorations on your cupcakes, I am more than happy to make chocolate or fondant pumpkins or fall leaves as a decoration for $2/dozen.  To add to all this holiday cheer, if you like my Facebook page, find the picture of my pumpkin cupcakes (posted Nov. 4th).  If you "like" this picture, you will be entered into a drawing to win a free dozen pumpkin cupcakes to be delivered the week of Thanksgiving!!  That drawing will also end on Nov. 16th, so better make a stop on Facebook at www.facebook.com/yellowrosescupcakes.  To give you a glimpse of what you can take home, see below!


Did I mention these are made with brown butter?  It adds so much flavor-too bad your computer is not scratch and sniff!



Fondant leaf decoration-how festive would this look on your Thanksgiving table?!



Tip of the Blog:

When baking, always have your ingredients at room temperature.  Even your eggs, milk or buttermilk and butter.  This will help the ingredients to mix together better with less mixing, which can cause dry cake.  There is no problem letting your butter and eggs sit out overnight, it can take a few hours for them to come to room temperature.  However, if you are short on time or forgot to let everything come to the same temperature, you can simple immerse your eggs in warm water and soften your butter in the microwave (don't let your butter melt, unless the directions say to do so!).
