From Pumpkin to Cake

Two little pumpkins have sat on my desk at work since I thought “Pumpkins! Already?!” Now Halloween is long gone and Thanksgiving is upon us. I brought those cute little pumpkins home today to help me bake up some seasonal cupcakes for my grade’s Thanksgiving Feast, the first of the cupcake marathons the holiday will have me in.

Here the baked pumpkin is ready to be pureed.

Orange you glad you have a large food processer? [That was very dumb.]

Here are the minis out of the oven. After a sampling I am relieved they’re perfect! Light, moist and delicious. Yay for 2/3 cup of sugar.

Hey baby.

Sloppy piping.

Ready for transport to school. Look how dark it is. Oh sun going down at 5, you’re ruining my blog photos.

I hope the kids and parents will like them. Check my class’s blog for a report!
