whipped cream (frozen) and chocolate ghost cupcakes - halloween edition

Hey friends! Now, I’m not really one for cheesey holiday recipes…but I couldn’t resist sharing these cute little ghost cupcakes with you. I’ve been making these cupcakes for years, since way back in when I was a university student at UBC!

First you make my one bowl chocolate cake (it’s dairy and egg free by the way!), and then top it with a generous amount of whipped cream (obviously not dairy free…ha!). Then you pop them into the freezer for about an hour before serving, and the cupcake will stay soft…BUT the whipped cream freezes into an ice cream-like texture. It is HEAVENLY!!

apple pecan cinnamon swirl coffee cake

Life on the farm has been in full swing for the two months now!! Apples galore!! Cider making!! Squash and corn and potatoes and more!! Hence the wee break I took….ha! And our apple u-pick is nearly done, so so crazy. I’m already missing walking through our orchard at peak harvest. There’s truly nothing like it!

an autumnal gathering in the orchard // pumpkin bundt cake recipe

I’ve always dreamed of setting up a table in our apple orchard, filled with sweet Autumn treats, with candlesticks and gold accents, and with a string or two of lights swaying above. For years now, I’ve thought about it. How dreamy it would be. Perhaps for my birthday I would think. And each year, the chaos of Fall would take over, and I just couldn’t seem to find the time or energy.
