Its here!! My favorite time of year... fall baking season! And the end of September/beginning of October is a time of celebration because this is when we celebrate some pretty important National & International Holidays. Do you know what they are? National & International COFFEE DAYS ! Yes, BAKING & COFFEE...a match made in seasonal heaven. I'm a little bit late on posting these this year, but that doesn't mean we can't better prepare for NEXT year! Mark these all-too-important holidays down in your calendar if you don't already have them: National Coffee Day is September 29th (in the United States) International Coffee Day is October 1  Both of these holidays are worth celebrating because what goes better with a freshly baked pastry or confection on a chilly, Autumn day than a freshly brewed cup of coffee? Read on to explore why the undeniably magical arrival of autumn sparks a unique passion for many of us: fall baking . And why there's no better way to embrace the magic of autumn than with the delightful combination of delicious baked goods and coffee. Be sure to read to the end where I share a recipe which combines both of these fabulous counterparts together in a dessert that recreates another fall-fan-favorite: PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) - Which, by the way, is celebrated on October 1st as well, on National Pumpkin Spice Day! (another to mark down!)
