Cake pops

Has everyone had one of these?
I've had the ones done with the icing mixed in with the cake crumbs, but I think they are
way too much work. So I bought a babycakes machine.  They are just the cake, which I prefer. I think the icing mixed in with the cake, then the chocolate is too much  sweet.
So, while I wish the babycakes were a bit bigger, these are still fun to make.  I did the first ones with a cake mix.  I think I will try a scratch recipe next and see what the difference is.  I'm taking these to our restaurant today as free samples to see how people like them.  Since I live near Pittsburgh,PA, I thought black and gold pops would go well.  Gotta be a Steeler's fan around here.  Even though I prefer the Penguins. They all use the same team colors, so I'm safe either way.  If they go over well, then I will think about selling them.  Just have to decide on a price. Decisions,decisions...............

Pumpkin cupcakes

I've been in a cupcake mode lately instead of cookies.  I have had the pumpkin pan for a few years so I decided to make some this weekend. I love fall and pumpkins, so I found a MS recipe for pumpkin cupcakes online.  They are delish.  I already have orders for them this week.  And since it has been a very chilly weekend, what better way to warm things up?  Plus the spicy smell lasts for days.

Baby cookies

I did these cookies for a friend who just became a grandma for the first time.  She is so excited to be a grandma.  I hope she will like the cookies.

Start of October cookies.....

What  can you start October off with other than Halloween cookies?  These are some of my first ones.

Also, since October is BC awareness month, I did some pink ribbons. I put them in a pink 'to-go' cup. Whats better than a cookie and saving the earth one cup at a time?
