the Flavors of Fall

By Whollykao @whollyKao

I can’t believe tomorrow is the first day of Fall! The weather in Dallas has cooled (slightly); Starbucks has busted out the pumpkin spice latte for the season. All I’m waiting for is the leaves to change color.

One of the reasons Fall is my favorite season is that there are so many autumny foods to look forward to. Thought I’d share some flavors of Fall with you. I can’t tell you how hungry I got when I was compiling these shots.


1 / maple bacon donuts
2 / maple popcorn
3 / homemade graham crackers with maple buttercream


1 / apple dumplings with homemade caramel sauce
2 / mini pork and apple pies
3 / brussel sprouts with cider vinegar sauce


1 / ricotta carrot cake whoopie pies
2 / pumpkin spice coffee creamer
3 / butternut and feta muffins


1 / gingerbread butter
2 / gingerbread mini donuts
3 / gingerbread café au lait

Hope this inspires you to create something this weekend. Enjoy the first day of Autumn!


On a side note, I’m really digging the brush shapes/splotches I used in the graphics today. I can’t take credit for them: I got them as a free download from Creature Comforts. They even have an instructional video teaching you how to use them!
