Thanksgiving Baking

Brown Butter Pumpkin Cupcakes with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

Can I just say how pooped I am tonight?  I was on my feet all afternoon baking and I'm exhausted.  From my initial taste of just the cupcake I'd say these are worth it.  I found this on Pinterest a few weeks ago but there was no link to the photo credit.  I ended up Googling the recipe name and found Tracey's Culinary Adventures  blog here.  I'm sure once I get the frosting on them tomorrow they will be fabulous!

Pumpkin Pie Snickerdoodle Bars with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

This was a recipe I tried last year and it was a giant hit at the office. I even had men asking me for the recipe.  Again, another wonderful dessert I found on Pinterest here.

I now am even more Thankful  for my friend Kathy who is cooking a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and inviting me to her home to join her extended family.  I'm sure she will have spent much more time in the kitchen than I did today.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends!

Sweet Ms. Genie over at Buttons for Baga was kind enough today to share with me her "photo secret" after I admired her photo collage from last Weds. She has now turned me on to Picnik and we all know how I just Love Technology. ;-)
I have these wonderful "Birds" heading south to me this week courtesy of my super talented friend Heather from Dragonfly Lampworks. They are needed for some custom pieces that I am designing for one of my previous clients. Ms. K is a big Pittsburgh Penguin fan and this is like the fourth piece of penguin jewelry that I have designed for her. It's so fun to design for someone as easy going as Ms. K. We did some Christmas last year so this year we're going to add some Thanksgiving designs to her collection.
I'll take pictures of the finished designs to share when I'm done.
