annual gingerbread house

haven't posted in a while... finallly putting up a pic of my annual gingerbread house! used the same mold thing i used for my halloween one this year. this house is clearly much more low-key than last year, but it's still cute i think. i also got the bright idea to decorate the roof and side pieces before i put the house together so they could dry and the candy wouldn't fall off lol.

made my thanksgiving cupcakes!

yes, i did make my cute thanksgiving cupcakes in time for this past thursday :)

unfortunately, they didn't turn out quite as cute as i wanted :(

mashed potatoes with gravy (just extra frosting and melted caramels):

corn on the cob made from jelly beans:
pies-- pecan with actual pecans, cherry/apple made with red hots, and two pumpkins made from orange colored frosting:
cranberry sauce, made from black cherry preserves:
turkey. this one i'm mad about, because when i made it on wednesday, it was ADORABLE. looked like the pictures i found. made from melted caramel, Pringles wheat sticks, pieces of pecan for stuffing, and green Fruity Pebbles as lettuce. but then when i got them to put out on thursday, the caramel had melted a bunch, the legs sliding off :( i put it back together the best i could:

cupcakes are pumpkin flavored, with maple cream cheese frosting. it's a good combination, very fall-like.

LESSON: when making intricate cupcakes, store in refrigerator at all times.

new fav video!

pumpkin pie cupcakes!

still inspired by the thanksgiving cupcakes i put up a few posts ago. i'm gonna try to make some too. i lilke this idea for pumpkin pie ones:

this is also adorable, but the topper is fondant/marzipan etc., and i don't really like using those.

this is also amazing-- a baby pumpkin pie inside a cupcakes!
