Gobble gobble - Happy Thanksgiving

Hello All!

First off, I wanted to apologize for my blog absence, I had a couple really busy weekends in a row and I admit I slacked off when it came to writing the blog. I figured it was time to get back into it and write another post, especially since I was called out by no other than my dad about not blogging. We met for coffee last week and he says, “No blogs lately!!” BUSTED!!

This weekend is Thanksgiving, which I have to say snuck up on me. This month is still quite busy with weddings for me, so I totally wasn’t in the head space of Thanksgiving until tons of pumpkin related recipes started popping up in my twitter feed. I decided on Pumpkin Swirl Cheese cake from Foodess, so once my wedding cake order was complete and delivered to Swan-e-set I moved onto the cheesecake.

Here is the wedding cake from Saturday, 3 tiers of real cake and one fake tier on the bottom.



I can't forget about the Scooby doo cake and some cupcakes I made this weekend.
Sunday I made the Pumpkin Cheesecake, I found the recipe on twitter via Foodess, I made a little mistake and forgot the brown sugar in the crust, for some reason I put white sugar, it still tasted delicious, but the crust was a little more crumbly then I would have liked. I’ll have to make it again just to have it with the brown sugar. I also made mine with light Philadelphia Cream Cheese and 1% sour cream as opposed to 14%. That was me doing my part to make Turkey Dinner a bit healthier.



And lastly I leave you with a cute photo of Hank, he’s practicing his impersonation skills; he’s a Meerkat :P

Now i’m off to Thanksgiving dinner #2, but I went to spin class this morning so i’m not feeling so bad about stuffing myself for a second time this weekend. Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and had the chance to reflect on what you’re thankful for.
