Fabulous Festive Fall Flavor Favorites

Say that five times really fast! Actually, I guess it's not that hard to do. Anyway, here's the latest in cupcake reviews...

Starting with Gigi's Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is pumpkin cake, topped with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with caramel drizzle and sugar crystals.

It was yum for sure. Had that nice cinnamon-y spice flavor.

Next up, is a store-bought cookie kit from Betty Crocker. It had cake and ice cream flavors. There were two separate mixes and it called for your typical ingredients like butter and then combine portions of each dough together. Sorry, I was not as creative as the cute designs shown on the box.

And presto! It kinda looked like one of those black and white cookies..."kinda." It tasted good. Not the best cookie in the world, but it was edible.

And finally, another Gigi's fall favorite is the Spiced Apple Cider, which is apple cake with apple butter filling, frosted with apple cider buttercream and finished with a cinnamon sugar pretzel and crunchy apple chip.

This cupcake was eh, ok. It looked better than it tasted. Frosting was good, but the cake was a bit dry.

I was hoping to try Gigi's fall Hot Cocoa cupcake too, but they were out. Booooo. Keep on the lookout though because I'm going to try and snag one eventually.
