September’s Tasty Treats

I think I spent the entire month of September in the kitchen. I ended up with two birthday cakes to make and one cookie catering gig too. I also had to make some tasty treats for home. Get ready for a lot of pictures, my kitchen was swamped.

Homemade pizza buffet oh yeah! I know it looks crazy, and yes that is four large pizzas, but everybody likes something different, and well, we have lunch for a week. Thade likes Pepperoni, Dylan just likes Cheese, and so does Agnes, James likes the BBQ Chicken with Bacon, and I like the triple meat pizza. I should probably change mine to just veggies, but it is so good.

I had two birthdays to make goodies for. The first was for my gardening buddy (and a dear friend of the family) who was turning 80. I made him a big batch of Chocolate Chunk Candy Bar cookies, and a Chocolate Bundt cake too.

I made a Cherry Jell-O cake too. The kiddos aren’t too fond of this one, but James and I like it. It is just so darn good.

For the cookie catering gig I made 21 dozen cookies in two days. It was crazy, but oh so tasty. There were:

and Whoopie Pies

It was a crazy two days, and then I was in trouble with my family because there were no leftover cookies, and I didn’t bake them a special batch.

Later in the month, I found out it was Clifford’s birthday. I won’t tell you which birthday it is, but he gave me a recipe to make that was one of his favorites when he was a child. It was a simple recipe, and I tried my best to replicate his very favorite cake.

He loved it, and I might just have to make Clifford’s cake for James. I think he would like it too.

When the first day of Fall arrived, I thought it was time to make an Dutch Apple Pie to celebrate. I let Dylan help out too, and I taught him all about the Apple Pie magic.
