Pumpkin Pie Squares

Pumpkin Pie Squares were the featured dessert at my last book club. Of course, it wouldn't be a Fall Treat without pumpkins. These pumpkin pie squares were like combining  the best of both traditional pumpkin and pecan pies. It's easier to prepare than regular pie and it's just delicious warm served with some whipped cream on the side. I don't think that I will ever again make a pumpkin pie without the brown sugar, butter and pecan topping.

I followed the directions, but doubled all the ingredients for the toopping! I live at a really high altitude and I had to bake it longer, but that's not unusual here. I also added more Ginger and added some Allspice. I like it a little spicy!  Try it and taste Autumn!

My birthday cake

I've been wanting to post pictures of my birthday cake forever now and I'm just now having the energy to do it. I know.  My birthday was in August, but I really wanted to post pics of this cake even if it's November.  Remember this post?  Well, I had almost forgotten it myself.  So, imagine my surprise when my best friend Stephanie surprised me with this beautiful cake.  I have to say that it's even prettier than the one in the movie. 

I want this cake for my birthday

My birthday's not until August, but this is the cake I want. I love a bundt and this was so pretty in the new Emma. (I forgot to mention this in my last post on Emma.) Isn't it so pretty?
