    • 🎃 What a fun fall day 🍂 We stayed up until 3 🎃 What a fun fall day 🍂 We stayed up until 3am binge-watching The Haunting of Hill House, then we had our favorite dinner at Lakeside Wiener Wagon and donuts from Brunch Babes. I decorated some cookies for work (I’m nowhere NEAR a pro at decorating, especially because my icing was too thick, but they’re still fun to make ☺️), and now we’re ending our night with Ghostbusters and popcorn. Can it stay fall forever? #pumpkin #fall #cookies #lakesidewienerwagonandbbq #brunchbabes
    🍎 Caramel apple macarons with Reese’s or Butt 🍎 Caramel apple macarons with Reese’s or Butterfingers crushed on top = fall perfection and deliciousness 🍁 The filling is a cinnamon apple buttercream, the tops are dipped in caramel, then chocolate pieces are added. And how better to get in the mood for fall than with Gilmore Girls 🧡🍂 #sweetforcertain #macaron #macarons #macaronsofinstagram #macaronstagram #macaronlover #macaronmonday #cinnamon #caramel #apple #caramelapple #buttercream #reeses #butterfinger #gilmoregirls #macaronlady

    Pumpkin cheesecake macarons with graham cracker cr Pumpkin cheesecake macarons with graham cracker crumbs on top, perfect for fall 🍂 Plus a peek behind the scenes! Our entryway has the best lighting in our house, so the majority of my photos are taken out there, and things are usually carefully balanced on the windowsill, easily in the reach of Pudsy 🤣 Doesn’t he look so sad??? #sweetforcertain #pumpkin #cheesecake #macaron #macarons #italianmethod #fall #autumn #halloween
    A few more photos because they make me so happy ☀️ Tim and I got married on a perfect sunny and 60-degree October day. The leaves were in the midst of changing and so beautiful. We kept it small, cozy, and added small details to make it more personal. We had only family and close friends to our ceremony, and our reception was about 100 people. One of our friends not only married us but also served up gourmet hotdogs and pulled pork on his food truck for our reception. I made a funfetti cake the night before for us to cut into and picked up some homemade pies from our local Mennonite store the morning of. Everything was exactly how we wanted it, and I am so thankful we were able to enjoy it with our closest friends and family and be surrounded by so much love 💜
    Happy anniversary to my love 💜 We’re enjoying Happy anniversary to my love 💜 We’re enjoying a slow morning at home snuggling with the kitties and playing video games, then this afternoon we plan on going hiking and cider tasting...and eating pizza and tacos. And we’ll probably finish it all off with some funfetti cake, just like what we had on our wedding day. I love the life we’ve made together 💜 #youandme #sixyears #homeiswhereverimwithyou #hygge

    Croquembouche 💜 This one makes my heart happy b Croquembouche 💜 This one makes my heart happy because THIS is the last recipe I made in 2017 that failed and made me stop baking. Now? It was a 2/5 difficulty, and everything turned out PERFECT. Perfectly thin but crunchy caramel, perfectly small cream puffs, delicious pastry cream flavors of chocolate, raspberry, and lemon, and some gorgeous delphiniums (not edible). I couldn’t be happier! Dare I say I had FUN making this??? Link in my bio to see how I made this...plus I’m including videos in my highlights-this type of recipe is so soothing to watch! #croquembouche #sweetforcertain #learningblog #bakingblog #theartoffrenchpastry #jacquypfeiffer #pastry #french #pastryclassic #chocolate #raspberry #lemon #delphinium
