Pumpkin Cupcakes with Brown Butter Icing

Today we are welcoming the first day of fall with arms wide open!

There is a chill in the air, the wind is twirling the first fallen leaves around and it is definitely a day for a jacket and scarf.

To celebrate the new season, I made cupcakes, because every celebration is better with cupcakes.

And not just any cupcakes, pumpkin cupcakes with delicious brown butter icing smeared over top, because nothing says fall like pumpkin... and sugar!

Chai Tea Latte

I love tea.

I am head over heels in love with tea!

So many choices. So many flavours. 

My cupboards at home and desk drawer at work are stock piled with different kinds - green, red, white and black and different flavours - peppermint, matcha, Chai, blueberry, pomegranate, Christmas, etc. There is so much variety out there, that's what makes tea so great! 

Spiced Apple Cake

Today we welcome the month of October! It was a perfect fall day, cool and crisp but oh-so-sunny! I had baking on my mind first thing this morning. I went searching through my favourite blogs to find the best recipe to bring in the new month and compliment the beautiful day. I came across this Spiced Apple Cake on Joy The Baker and new it was the one, so I put on my jacket and favourite scarf and headed out to get the ingredients.
