Taylor Depola's Goodies

Ladies and gentleman, fall has officially arrived. And lucky for us, the arrival of fall also means one more thing - we all can get a taste of Taylor Depola's now famous baked goods.

Last night, Taylor spent grueling hours over the oven in the kitchen. Her main entree this week was her pumpkin cupcakes. She may have been a bit tardy to school this morning, but as you will soon find out, it was completely worth it.

Now on to the cupcakes. Each cake snack was wrapped intricately in a snack wrap pack. Each bite (each cake only allowed for two) had a consistency characterized by a moist brownie fresh out the oven. The proportion of the frosting to cake was spot on. Crowds flocked, hopped, and jigged over, hoping to get a taste of her goodies. 

With every bite taken, I fell deeper and deeper into a magic fall leaf wonderland with visions of jack-o-lanterns and scarecrows dancing through my head as the pumpkin cupcake melted in my mouth. They weren't just pieces of cake with a dab of frosting; they were edible works of art.                                                   






That being said, our school can only hope that this continues as a tradition. A proper name for it could be “Taylor Depola’s Goodie of the Month.” For each month/season Illinois drags us through, there could be a baked treat to correlate with it.
