Hi guys, and happy Fall! Today I’m sharing my easy DIY Pumpkin/ Fall Centerpiece.

Peter Rabbit/children’s book baby shower
Celebrating with those we love has always been important to us here at Party Patisserie, but now that the world is sheltering in place and we’re physically separated from friends and family, thinking about the times when we can be together in person again seem even more precious.

Mini gluten-free pumpkin pies
Last year I tried making gluten-free pie crusts from scratch for Christmas. It was a disaster. First the dough wouldn’t hold together long enough for me to roll it out. Then, when I finally was able to roll it out, I couldn’t get it off the parchment paper and into the pie pan in one… READ MORE

Apple pie bars
If you live in the Midwest, you know that fall is an elusive season. We typically go from sweltering heat to full-blown snow in just a matter of weeks, but this year has been different. We’ve had weeks of temps in the 70s (even the 80s!), and it has been perfect for hanging out at… READ MORE
How to decorate for the transition from summer to fall
It’s technically still summer (the first day of autumn isn’t until September 22), but everyone seems to be in full fall mode.
