I really do love Autumn! There is just something about the cool weather with the leaves changing that just makes me want to stay inside and bake! I have done a fall cake for the past couple of years. The chocolate cake here was for my friend's birthday last year. It was her 39th. I did not make her a cake this year (her birthday week turned out to be a week where I had several other cake orders) but in retrospect, maybe it is better to have a bigger celebration for 39! The other Autumn cake I did was for the birthdays at my kid's school. It was for September, October and November birthdays and you just can't fit that on a cake and it still be pretty! I drew the leaves and acorns free hand and filled them in.
