Pumpkin and White Chocolate Blondies

Do you know a dessert called blondies? They’re very similar to brownies, but while brownies include chocolate, blondies are made with white chocolate or vanilla.
They’re surprisingly easy to make: combine pumpkin puree, melted white chocolate and butter, and a mixture of eggs and granulated sugar; then mix in cake flour and baking powder, and bake.
It takes a bit of effort to puree the pumpkin and melt the white chocolate and butter in a double boiler, but there’s nothing difficult about it, so even beginners at baking should find it approachable.
Pumpkin roll cake

How about a roll cake filled with pumpkin cream? Once the roll cake is finished, pipe thin strands of pumpkin cream over the top, just like a Mont Blanc.
The gentle sweetness of the pumpkin will fill your mouth.
Passing the pumpkin through a sieve to make several types of pumpkin cream, or wrapping the cream in a thinly baked sponge, might feel a bit challenging for beginners in baking.
But if you’re eager to try making a truly authentic cake that takes a bit of extra time and effort, definitely give it a go!
Square Pumpkin Mont Blanc

This Mont Blanc cake is charmingly square, inspired by pumpkin decorations.
A key point is that it uses pumpkin as an ingredient, giving it a cohesive look and flavor that really evokes the autumn mood.
Another plus is how easy it is to achieve a beautiful square shape: simply stack sponge cakes cut to the same size and coat them with cream.
The sizes of the pumpkin-infused whipped cream applied to the outside and the facial-feature pieces are important for creating both beauty and cuteness.
Of course, precise measuring of ingredients matters, but be sure to carefully measure sizes as well.
Spiderweb Cake

This is a pancake that’s fun not only for its taste but also for its visual transformation: when you remove the film, a spiderweb pattern spreads out.
Using pumpkin in the batter is another key point, letting you taste the autumn feel of Halloween.
The most important steps are how you wrap the film after the batter is cooked and how you add the whipped cream.
Pour the whipped cream into the film wrapped snugly so it won’t leak, then draw a spiderweb on top with a chocolate pen.
Drawing a series of concentric circles and refining them with a toothpick is recommended.
It’s a recipe that really rewards careful focus at each step.
Halloween Cake Pops

These are cake pops featuring various Halloween motifs, with a round, cute appearance.
The process involves crumbling store-bought baumkuchen, mixing it with white chocolate and cream cheese, kneading it together, shaping it into balls, and decorating.
Dip the entire ball in coating chocolate, chill, then add designs with a chocolate pen to finish.
Since it’s a chocolate-forward treat, the flavor should be familiar and approachable.
Choose chocolates that match the motif you want to create, and refine the details with a chocolate pen to elevate the quality.
