Pumpkins are still fashionable, right?

I've had my eye on these for awhile... (since early October actually)

and today I finally cracked.
Boyfriend is visiting his family in Sac-townso I am alone and bored in his apartment.

I suppose I should be spending this time studying for finals

but I am pretending that I am being productive because

baking has always been a great form of stress-relief for me.

(This excludes holiday baking, which is definitely stress-inducing)

I haven't baked for fun in a very long time.

It felt nice :)

*** taste testing break ***

Umm.. so the first batch just came out and...

WHAT THE HECK

WHY HAVEN'T I MADE THESE SOONER!?!?!

Yum.
