Regardless of how much turkey, casserole, and yams I eat, there's always room for dessert. I'm sure you can agree! My vote always go to pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but if you are not into pie, celebrate with a seasonal pumpkin cake/cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!

Lay them on a silicon leaf impression and press. (Stores sell ones specifically for maple impressions, but I used a general one that is good for a wide variety of leaves. Plus, these are pretty pricey so unless you are making a lot of them or really want to be botanically correct, this will do.)

Time for some dusting to liven up these leaves. Here is the color lineup:

Cupcakes!

Enjoy! Have a delicious and merry Thanksgiving with family/friends!
