Bevor die Kürbis Saison ganz vorbei ist, gibts heute auf jeden Fall noch einen Pumpkin Pie. Und anstatt der üblichen Pie Crust hab ich einfach einen Brownieboden gemacht (Lust auf Schokolade und so…) und obendrauf die Pumpkinmasse gegeben. Weil das Auge ja mitisst, verteile ich vor dem Servieren noch frisches Karamell mit Walnüssen obendrauf – und was backst Du heute?
Last Sunday, we ended the outside teatime season with a bang. I did some seasonal baking and an irresistible autumn decoration. One of our favorite cakes was the choc & caramel cheesecake with chocolate sauce on top! I also offered a warming autumn fruit crumbler with an almond cookie topping, yummieh!, and a delicious ginger cake with fudgy frosting – it really was the perfect september outside retreat!
Luckily I had a visit from my dear friend Rosey Sugar from Japan. She helped me with everything. If you have don´t know her and have not seen her cookie decorations. Please go to her website right now. She is an artist.
This is the season of harvest and gorgeous shades of brown, rust, copper and green. I tried to brighten up the tables with some seasonal finds. You can easily transform an teatime table into „woodland wonderful“ with all those coloured leafs, lampion flowers, rose hips, wooden candle holders, pumpkins and so on.
All the vintage plates and cutlery just made tea-time truly glorious and the granny extra proud! Great to look at was the pretty table runner, the cheeky knitted tea cosy and the tiered cake stands. It was a beautiful sunday with lovely people around – a feast for the senses.
With a caramel-cover and some almonds around, this sunday is going to be great!
Even if the temperature is now really getting cold in Germany (we had -3C degrees in the morning), the sun is shining, the leafs are falling down, it is pretty nice outside.
For the first time this fall, I wore a wollen hat and my winterjacket when we went out for a walk this morning.
If you want to make the apples yourself, just heat up some caramels (like f.e. Werther’s Echte) in the microwave. Dip the apple in and immediately after coating each apple, dip them into the nuts of your choice. For a prettier presentation I used tree cuttings as sticks, they are even too nice to eat…(well, don’t believe that, haha…)
It was raining in the morning and it was cold outside – only like 8°C, Brrr…..the only thing to make the day shiny and bright for me was to walk in the kitchen and preheat the oven. let’s make some pretty pies!
There was the cherry pie(which is always great), the chocolate pie (a life safer and yes, it is rich, but also in taste) and of course the pumpkin pie (I saw the ripe pumpkin fields since weeks). I cannot say, which one I like the most, because I love them all! And of course I cannot eat them all up at once alone. So, if you around, come by and check out which one of them you like the most!
