This weekend, Billie, Mom and I headed up to Ritzville to the Mennonite Country Auction and Relief Sale. It's an annual event that we only just heard about. With nothing else really going on, we decided to go see what it was all about.
The main purpose of the event is an Auction, which among many various things inlcuded some beautiful quilts, to help raise money...with all of this year's proceeds going to flood victims in Pakistan. There was lots of food to eat - including pies of every flavor and homemade ice cream, some items for sale, and a couple demonstrations to see - like fresh pressed cider, and home made apple butter. Not a bad way to spend a warm, sunny autumn day!
Mmmmm...doesn't that sound so good? Carmel Apple Cupcakes! They were good, but just not as great as I had hoped.
found this particular one that had apples and carmel right in the batter, maple syrup in the frosting, and then I added a carmel drizzle to top it off. They really did look and taste like autumn!
