This is always a busy weekend in October. First, we celebrate the kiddo's birthday. Sometimes that means multiple gatherings with friends, family, etc. Plus, we always have extra outings to enjoy the best of the fall season. So here's a laundry list of all the things we've been eating. All of it pretty tasty, and enough to put me on straight salads for the next week.😄
First, and most important, the birthday cake--vanilla cake with raspberry filling. (I used a Duncan Hines white cake mix made with the "bakery" extras, my regular buttercream, plus the raspberry filling from this recipe, which did NOT thicken like it should have.)
Then, the Birthday Cake Scones. I stay away from scones because I like to avoid the cutting of butter into flour, but every time I make them it's worth it, so maybe I'll change my tune.
For an outing with friends I made Maple Bacon Crack, Homemade Dipping Caramel, and Brownie S'mores Cupcakes--all absolutely worth making again and again.
