It’s fall, and everyone knows what that means: pumpkin spice season is here. For the past few years, this fall-themed flavour has been steadily increasing in popularity, and there always seems to be a new related product coming out: donuts, muffins, scented candles, caffeinated beverages, chocolates, and even stranger items like flavoured tooth paste. There are even fall dessert BBQ recipes!
Well, the latest fall trends now include planning your very own pumpkin spice-themed party – which doesn’t sound too bad, actually. Imagine a cozy get-together with fall decorations and yummy treats like pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, cupcakes, pecan pudding cake, and more.
A Warm Feeling Inside
Hosts looking for delicious options for a private party are even turning to private caterers who can provide them with professionally made food that will delight their guests. Quality caterers work with locally-sourced ingredients in order to create a menu that actually uses real pumpkin and cinnamon in their food instead of artificially-created flavours.
