Calling All Basic Girls: The Best Way To Make The Most Amazing Pumpkin Spice Cakes

What you'll need:

-Cooking spray

-2 cups all-purpose flour

-2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

-2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

-1 cup granulated sugar

-1 cup brown sugar packed

-3/4 cup vegetable oil

-1/2 cup applesauce

-15 ounce can pumpkin puree

-4 eggs

-1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

-1/2 cup heavy cream

-8 ounces white fondant

-gel food colors in shades of orange and green

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 6 cup mini Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce and oil.
  4. Add the pumpkin to the sugar mixture. Mix, then stir in the eggs, one at a time.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Fill each bundt 2/3 of the way full with batter. There will be batter left over for a second batch of cakes.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 5-7 minutes, then carefully invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
  9. Wipe out the Bundt pan with a paper towel, coat with cooking spray, and repeat the process with the remaining cake batter. There should be enough to fill up 4 more Bundt cakes.
  10. Bake the remaining Bundt cakes, and repeat the same cooling process as above.
  11. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a medium bowl in the microwave at 30-second intervals until very hot; cream should not be at a boil. Add the white chocolate chips to the bowl and mix until smooth. You may need to microwave the mixture for 10 seconds more if there are still lumps of chocolate after stirring. Add the copper icing color until desired shade is reached. Allow the ganache to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  12. Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of ganache over the flat part of half of the cakes. Place the other half of the cakes on top to create 5 pumpkin shaped cakes.
  13. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of ganache over the top of each cake.
  14. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the juniper green icing color to the fondant and knead until thoroughly combined. It is easiest to knead in smaller pieces. Add more icing color until your desired shade of green is reached.
  15. Press teaspoon sized pieces of fondant into a leaf-shaped silicone mold for a total of 10 leaves. If you don't have a mold, form the leaves by cutting the shapes with a small sharp knife.
  16. Using your hands, form 5 stem shapes out of the fondant. Each stem should be approximately 2-1/2" tall and 1" wide. Use a toothpick to create ridges on the stems.
  17. Place a fondant stem inside the hole of each bundt cake. Add two fondant leaves at the base of each stem. Store at room temperature until ready to serve. Cakes are best served on the day that they're made.
  18. And lastly... ENJOY!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
