Pumpkin-spice season is here once again! Some are die-hard fans. I'm somewhere in the middle. I enjoy pumpkin and that cinnamon-ginger-nutmeg concoction; but, it's not my favorite. Honestly, Starbucks usually leaves me a little disappointed. I used to be excited when it came back each season. Now, I can't even recall the last time I ordered that PSL. 

With the exception of pumpkin pie, pumpkin desserts never disappoint! Something about cold, mushy pumpkin doesn't do it for me- but I LOVE pumpkin cookies, cakes, and breads! Yes, yes, and YES!

And, mini desserts are always my favorite! Ok, so these are not one-bite treats, but super cute and everyone can have their own. It's also easier to control your portions with mini desserts.

Why is it called coffee cake?

This sweet cake, often with a streusel topping, is traditionally served with coffee or tea at breakfast. Despite the name, there is no coffee in this cake.

Is crumb cake and coffee cake the same?

Both cakes are very similar. The major difference is that coffee cake has a thinner layer of streusel. Crumb cakes have a thicker and chunkier streusel topping.
