Double Chocolate Bears with Tiny Jack-O-Lanterns (w/Template)
I don’t usually do much baking for Halloween since I like to jump straight into preparations for the Christmas holiday season once September comes around.

Over the Rainbow Cloud Macarons with Irish Cream Filling & My Home
Over the holidays, we acquired this very whimsical and somewhat ironic canvas for our home.
