Pumpkin angel food cake

This is my absolute favorite fall and holiday desert. Pumpkin Angel Food Cake.

It is guilt free (take the low calorie count and fat free-ness of angel food cake and add the vitamins and fiber of pumpkin...). I love to serve this with cranberry cool whip or plain cool whip, cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg. Delicious! Here, I garnished it with cranberries, both sugared and plain, and fresh mint.

You, too, can make this at home!

Not much cakeage going on at our house the past two weeks, but here is a nectarine topped Mascarpone Cheesecake that is oh, so tasty. I posted the recipe here a few weeks ago. It was so good, I made one for my handsome man to take to work with him. It was all gone before he could get to it to snag a piece, so my guess is it was a big hit. Look! No cracks! (I just had to post this one to prove that the fruit was not a cover up for a cracked cheesecake...this time)
Birthday week at our house is coming up. (three b-days and Halloween all in the span of 5 days) I will hopefully have some fun "real" cake pics soon!

Chocolate lover's birthday

A cake for my sister's Mother-in-law's 60th. She loves chocolate, so that is what she gets. 3 layer chocolate cake with strawberry filling and chocolate frosting...so yummy.
