Pumpkin Lofthouse Sugar Tarts with Maple Buttercream

I love lofthouse sugar cookies!  So I decided to make them into tarts, but not just any tarts...Pumpkin Tarts!  I took my recipe and instead of using the sour cream that's called for, I replaced it with pumpkin.  This gave the tarts just a subtle hint of pumpkin.  Then I topped them off with a maple buttercream frosting and sprinkled on a little cinnamon.  It all came together perfectly!  They're very simple to make and they turned out cute too :)

Vanilla Cream Cake

To celebrate the 4th of July I decided to make a red, white & blue cake.  This cake is a cross between a sponge and pound cake.  It's airy, but a little dense too (if that makes sense!).  The icing is a vanilla buttercream; I make mine with half-n-half and I love the creamy taste that comes through.  I also don't use a lot of sugar because I don't want the sweetness to overpower the cake.  To go with the red, white & blue theme I used strawberries and blueberries!  This is a delicious, quick and easy cake to take to all your picnics this holiday...enjoy!
