Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake

Celebrating the colors of the season on this first day of fall with a pumpkin cake, filled and frosted with latte buttercream, so it is basically a “Pumpkin Spice Latte” cake. It is topped with sugar paste mini pumpkins and pine cones.

Brush Stroke Macarons

In addition to creating a new flavor, I also experimented with painting these macarons with a dash of edible paint. It can really make a difference in the look of the cookies.

The macarons by itself were looking great, but I still wanted a bit more color and fun, so I decided to paint them with a brush, to give a blush pink brush stroke on top of the macaron shell. I love the effect.

They were perfectly crunchy, chewy, with the slight salty sweet caramel notes from the buttercream frosting and piece of caramel sandwiched in the center.
