November Baking Challenge

It’s that time again where I announce the November Baking Challenge recipe and pick a winner for October! I’m so excited to have everyone joining in on the monthly baking challenges!

Gingerbread Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting - gingerbread cupcakes that are spiced up with loads of ginger and cinnamon then topped with heavenly white chocolate frosting.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween! I'm currently eating my son's candy and writing this post. Don't worry, I'm picking through all the ones that he doesn't care for.

We had another successful monthly baking challenge! 5 beautiful cheesecakes and two winners. I’ve grabbed all of the photos out of the Facebook Group where you can enter to challenge and created a collage of October’s Baking Challenge entries. Take a look!

Collage of coffee cheesecakes for the October baking challenge.

This coffee cheesecake is the cheesecake recipe that made me fall in love with cheesecakes. I have made so many, a lot of them still need to be posted. I have plans on making a cheesecake cookbook in the future to sell. Would anyone be interested in that? I really hope so.

MONTHLY BAKING CHALLENGE

For November's post, I chose a recipe that fits into the holiday season. Can you tell I have Christmas on the brain already? It happens when you're trying to be a month ahead of the holidays.

So gingerbread cupcakes and white chocolate frosting is what I went with. I plan on making it this month too just to revisit it and maybe shoot a video and snap a couple new photos. It hasn't gotten a ton of attention since I first used it as a guest post on another site years and years ago.

October Winners

This month I had my son who's 7 pick two of the cheesecakes from the collage above. The first winner is Crissy VanMarter. Crissy will receive the $50 Amazon gift card! The second winner is Rosalie Buttitta Berardo‎. Rosalie will receive the vanilla gift pack. I’ll be notifying them in the Cookie Dough and Oven Mitt VIP group.
