| The Pumpkin Harvest. |
This moist pumpkin-spice cake, topped with its not-too-overwhelming cinnamon buttercream, tastes like how autumn feels at its peak in mid-October. Take a bite, close your eyes and see flashes of warm colors mingle with sunlight. That's how good this dessert is. And that small chunk of chocolate-pumpkin bark on top will round out the experience (yes, this cupcake is an experience) with a lovely, balanced aftertaste that will linger in your mouth -- and on your mind.
The "Pumpkin Harvest" is rich without being too heavy, but it's
perfect for sharing with someone who makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy
inside (this treat will only enhance those feelings).
Should any ill feelings arise from the "Pumpkin Harvest," it's only this: We all hate when a good thing comes to an end. And, eventually, after
the last bit of buttercream is licked off the plate and the bitter sting
of another cold winter approaches, this too shall pass.
