Since I am obsessed with dessert, pumpkin flavoured dessert, and Fall/Winter holidays, I have created this blog to feature my baking/buying forays into the pumpkin (+ more) world.
This should be delicious.

HOLIDAY GINGERBREAD: STARBUCKS
This was honestly so good. I would buy it again.
It’s a gingerbread cake, but it doesn’t taste too strongly of gingerbread. There’s just enough gingerbread flavour so that you can taste it. On top is a lovely, creamy vanilla frosting. Inside the cake and on top are fruit bits, which really set it over the top, as well as orange rind on top. The combination of all of these elements make for a very tasty piece of cake/bread.
PEPPERMINT BROWNIE CAKE POP: STARBUCKS
I love cake pops. They’re moist and chewy and yummy. This one was no exception.
I loved the crunchy bits of sprinkles and candy cane on the outside, they added a great texture to the chewy brownie cake on the inside. It was chocolatey, but not too much and it was minty, but not too much. It was balanced really well. And it was delicious.
If you need have a sugar craving and want a little bit of sweetness, cake pops are perfect. And if you want this treat to be holiday themed, get this.
I was so excited to eat this ice cream, I forgot to take a picture.
It was so delicious! Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I have all good things to say about this ice cream, it was just as good as I remember it was. It tasted exactly like eggnog-like eggnog in ice cream form. Just as it should taste.
I chose birthday cake as my mixin, which I highly recommend. It doesn’t take away from the flavour of the ice cream, and it adds a lovely soft texture. I’ve had it with Skor bits, Nestle Crunch and Kit Kat (all at different times…yes, I’m obsessed) and I have to say, the cake was my favourite.
So if you like eggnog, go try this. It’s delicious.
CANDY CANE HOT CHOCOLATE: SECOND CUP
This drink was so delicious, it was even better than I thought it would be. It was creamy, rich and sweet. The mint flavour was perfect; you could taste it, but it wasn’t so overpowering that you couldn’t taste the chocolate. My only problem was that it was done too quickly! I would definitely buy this again, it’s a perfect holiday drink.
I made these for Halloween, and they were probably my favourite out of the two (over the Pumpkin Blondies-but it was very close, they were both so delicious).
There’s two batters that make up this dessert, the brownie batter and the pumpkin-cheese batter. The brownie part is very thick and the pumpkin-cheese one is very thin and almost watery. You have to swirl the two batters after you layer them, but the thickness of the brownie batter really spread out the pumpkin-cheese part, so that there was barely any. I would suggest making double the pumpkin-cheese batter to get more of the pumpkin flavour, instead of the brownie overpowering it.
It was still very good though. I used semi-sweet chocolate and less sugar instead of bittersweet, and it still turned out tasty. I would definitely make these again.
I made these for Halloween, and they were so good!
The recipe says to include white chocolate chips and walnuts in the batter, but I just put pecans. They added a nice crunch to the soft, moist pumpkin counterpart.
This was more of like a pumpkin cake than a blondie, but it was still quite tasty. It had awesome flavour, especially with the addition of brown sugar.
It’s a great basic pumpkin dessert that most people will enjoy.
