Shot in picturesque Martha's Vineyard - I'm in love with the picket fence, the sun flare, the shadows, the flag, the hedges - okay, everything!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

  2. That's so funny, I just asked my mom to email me her pumpkin bread (which I've made as cupcakes/muffins with cream cheese frosting in the past). This is what she sent me:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Mix 3.5 cups flour, 2/3 cup water, 2 Teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 cup oil, 4 eggs, 2 cups pumpkin (15 oz. can), and 3 cups sugar.
    3. Grease pans (she uses 5 small loaf pans, but 2 large ones also work, as do 6 mini pans; and I've definitely made muffins with this recipe as well, although I can't remember how many it makes...)
    4. Cook for 45 minutes for 5 small pans, or 1 hour for two large pans. (I'm not sure how long muffins take. I'm guessing I based it off of what a boxed mix suggestion.) The center should be moist but not gooey. Use a toothpick to check.

    MMmmmm

    She also sent me her Bailey's Irish Cream Cake recipe--so easy and so good!--so let me know if you want that. Have a happy weekend!

  3. I like this recipe for pumpkin cheesecake (but I don't make the crust I buy one pre-made at the store so it becomes super easy!). I know its not cupcakes but its delish-o!

  4. This recipe seems super easy and quick - if that's what you're looking for:

    And cream cheese frosting? A block of cream cheese, 1.5-2 cups powdered sugar added slowly as you mix, and a drop of vanilla.

    Good luck & happy Thanksgiving!

  5. This recipe looks amazing! You could probably do the frosting with or without the orange peel and orange extract.

  6. Darn, I had so much to do tonight, now all I want to do is go bake these cupcakes! Yummm!!

    And on another note, I just finished and sent out my save the dates that were magnets I ordered from Magnet Street! I should be posting about it soon on my blog if anyone is interested, but I had to say that I HIGHLY recommend them! I was a pain changing my order and having a million questions but they were fabulous and the magnets we a fantastic quality! Now if only I could find something I need right now to use that discount on... :)

  7. This venue is great especially for couples who love outdoor weddings and to have a great time with the guests before, during and even after the wedding. :D
