The second of my Thanksgiving offerings are Berry and Twig Weecakies. When the leaves fall and swirl away, we are left with all sorts of berries and crabapples on our trees and bushes. I have little yellow crabapples on one of my trees, and tiny green-brown pears on my flowering pear tree. Autumn brings about another change. We can see that nature tries to feed all, making available and more visible these delicacies for birds and other wildlife. There is beauty in the almost leafless branches, laden with fruits for hungry foragers. The Autumn Lemon Twig Weecakies are made with lemon cake, dipped in yellow colored white chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate and decorated with colored chocolate. The Autumn Twig Raspberry Weecakies are raspberry swirl cake (from carriescakes.com) dipped in white chocolate and decorated with colored chocolate. Yummy fruit Weecakies, and the warmth of the Thanksgiving Season. Celebrate your days with Thanksgiving Berry and Twig Weecakies.
Pumpkins are a very versitle vegetable. We enjoy the trailing vines and huge leaves winding their way throughout our gardens. We savor the mellow flesh in spicy pies, cakes, cookies and breads. Our family especially likes the seeds salted and roasted in the oven for crunchy snacks. Pumpkins have been the center of folk-lore, from Cinderella's fairy-carriage and Peter Peter's wife's domain to the frightening firey head tossed at the terrified Ichabod Crane. Pumpkin Weecakies, however, are uniquely different. They each have a yummy, mellow truffle center of either pumpkin-chocolate chip cake or apple spice cake. Each Weecakie is hand-formed into a pumpkin shape-some are long and skinny, some are pear-shaped, some are traditionally round, and some are just weird. All are dipped in pumpkin-colored white Callebaut chocolate and topped with a colored chocolate stem. They are perfect for all your Autumnal Celebrations. These are not ordinary cake pops. Pumpkin Weecakies are a fantastic taste treat that everyone will love-especially if your name is Peter, or Cinderella, or Prince Charming, or....YOU!
Happy Celebrations!
I am so lucky to live where there is an abundance of colorful leaves in the Fall. I used to collect acorn caps to use as cups in a woodland-tea-party setting with my dolls. So, on a apple-spice cake square, I have recreated Autumn leaves and acorns. The cake is dipped in white chocolate and the leaves and acorns are molded in colored chocolate clay. These are pretty small in real life-it all sits on top of a sucker stick. Beautiful colored leaves and melt-in-your-mouth apple-spice cake truffle. What more could you ask for? Yummy!
