Fall Cupcakes and 9/11 Remembrance

I have to admit that even though I dread the thought of Winter coming, I do enjoy when the summer turns to Indian Summer in September and then into Fall. I can smell it in the air and there is just something different that although its such a subtle change you can feel the shift. That first leaf falling to the ground, the need to pull out the light blanket at night and the crisp air in the morning are all the signs I need to know whats coming in the weeks ahead.

But there is also another event that  takes place in September every year that just makes my heart heavy with sadness. In honor of the many lives that were taken on this day and the many heroes who gave their lives during and after, I made these Fall cupcakes to brighten up the day a little and I pray that the families of the victims can find some peace in their hearts knowing that their loved will never be forgotten. The ceremonies today were so moving and just as painful to watch as that fateful day.  I really do hope that we don't have to wait another 10 years for the world to be at peace. God Bless America!

Happy Fall!
