Fall Whoopie Cakes

Although I really like summer also, I really love the start of fall. The sunny days  you still have in september, the light, the smell of moist and rotten leaves in the morning, the glistening spiderwebs, the orange and burgundy colors, and most of all the apple, nuts and pumpkin recipes that pop up everywhere. 

I found the most delicious recipes for pumpkin whoopie cakes filled with buttercream at Shopgirl. I changed the recipe somewhat to my likes and to what's in store here in The Netherlands.

What you need:
* cakemix
* ingredients that are mentioned on your cakemix box (eggs, butter, etc)
* 1/2 box of frozen pumpkin
* tablespoon speculaas spices (mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger)
* 50 grams of icing sugar
* 100 grams cream cheese
* 50 grams of unsalted butter

Preheat oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

Defrost and mash the pumpkin. Proces the cakemix as told on the box and mix one tablespoon of speculaas spices and the mashed pumpkin through the batter.

Cover the baking tin with baking paper and with a spoon make little mountains of batter on the paper sheath. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, sugar and butter together until smooth. Take two cakes, put some cream cheese filling between them and press together.

And then: EAT!

The enormous pine apple is found by my friend in France and the Crochet Cat Pumpkin is made by me last year.

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Fisherman's Lamp

Image
This year we stayed in our own country to celebrate vacation once again, due to covid. We booked a couple of vacation houses in different places and went from one to another each week.  After two weeks in a vacation I always long to go home, because of all the ideas I come along while visiting other places. Sounds familiar, or is this just me? This year I saw fisherman's lamps at various places and after the first time I already knew I wanted to make one.  We came back a couple of days ago and I couldn't wait to start. Lots of laundry had to be done, but between loading my washing machine and folding wash after drying, I started with my lamp. Today I finished it! Very happy with the result! For now it will stay on the porch, because it gives it a summery vibe and it still is summer, isn't it? But in a couple of weeks I will start to decorate the porch for fall and then I will move the lamp to our bedroom. The bedroom is totally white, it will fit in perfectly. Pattern: mad
