mélange: a mixture often of incongruous elements
I am one of those chicks that loves pumpkin in everything during autumn…I have no shame. These are super moist and a cinch to make. The cupcakes contain only three ingredients and the frosting is also simple to prepare.
I’ve had several Thanksgiving side dishes with brussel sprouts and squash which I love, but I thought bacon would be a good addition to kick it up a notch. I love the combination of maple and bacon and it makes vegetables oh so yummy.
I wanted to incorporate my love of baking into my wedding somehow, but I knew that preparing the cake & desserts would add just a little too much stress for me on my special day. Instead I thought it would be a particularly special touch to create the favors. I was able to prepare them ahead of time and box them up in a cute way. For 40 cake pops, I multiplied the recipe below by six.
