Cake #67 - Pumpkin Cheesecake


Monday Mood Cake: Pumpkin Cheesecake

In the mood for a little nap with my Little Pumpkin - our 11-week old kitten, that is. Smallest member of our family.

Pumpkin as a term of endearment is so awesome! Okay, I am not a native English speaker so I am never able to fully 'get' it but somehow I find it...  just cute! And it even sounds perfect. My little pumpkin. Aww. Pumpkin.
