Boil 'em, Mash 'em, Stick 'em in Cakes

Dear Amanda,

I had the Hobbit on my mind, hence the title. Read like Sam.

I am now unloading all of my summer/fall photos I neglected to organize before. I was on a pumpkin spree for a while--pumpkins did very well this year at the farm. This posts features pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, but also created, but not documented, were:

• pumpkin bread
• pumpkin cookies
• this list seemed longer in my head

The pumpkins were very satisfying to bake and then scoop out their tender fleshes.

Yaaay baby cake!

My Sammy-cat really liked the cream cheese frosting. I had to fish her out of the bowl. I'll miss you Sammy-cat. <3

Much love,

Celia
