#Pumpkin Spice Cafe

Today's mood.

All I want is to snuggle with a book, preferably with a cup of something warm.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe

I'm hosting a doll meet on the Sunday before Halloween. Normally I'd be offering an elaborate Doll-O-Ween party with costume theme and crazy displays, but this year The Gauntlet (Labor Day through Halloween) is very front-heavy and I'm not sure I'll have the energy for a big elaborate party.

But I was putting some of my 1/4 size girls in my cute halloween-themed casual separates and decided that a little Pumpkin Spice goes a long way.

I have some of these adorable Halloween themed mugs, and a fall tea set with a pumpkin shaped teapot.

I built a pirate bar for D&D&D, so I'm going to repurpose some of those pieces to build a cafe set.

I'm planning to make pumpkin spiced foods and drinks, and some of those will be done in miniature for the doll scene.

I think it will be fun!

Me: *modeling writing a story to the kids* So this is Timothy, he's Theo's boyfriend

Kid: Is Theo a boy or a girl?

Me: A boy. They're both boys.

Kid: I thought you said this had to be school appropriate?

Me: ... it is...

Me: I'm not going to write anything explicit. They're the same as every other couple. They have normal relationships too. If Timothy or Theo were a girl, would you say that?

Kid: ...

Me: They're in a loving relationship and Timothy is a part of the story because he's supporting his boyfriend in his quest to make the best fall drink and beat Starbucks.

what “holiday” cafe drinks/desserts i think asgzc would get:

angeal: he feels like a peppermint hot chocolate kind of dude, but add a shit load of espresso because the poor guy absolutely needs gallons of espresso to be able to put up with zack, genesis, and sephiroth on a daily basis (someone help that poor man)

genesis: IN THEORY he would absolutely be an apple cinnamon EVERYTHING kind of guy BUT not from any kind of cafe because he believes none of them can do it right! so he has to make it himself and he has been forbidden by the others to ever be allowed to order it again because it’s never good enough for him and it pisses him off, and every time they go to a new cafe and he orders an apple cinnamon anything he always spends the rest of the day critiquing every single little thing off about it, much to the rest of the guys annoyance because none of them want to hear genesis rant about a decently flavored cafe item just because it wasn’t up to his weird apple freak standards… so instead he is 100% one of THOSE pumpkin spice bitches! like the at the cafe the moment they release it kind of pumpkin spice bitch (but even though he likes it he still doesn’t think it’s as good as it should be and he can absolutely make it better but he doesn’t complain AS much)

sephiroth: every time he goes with the others he just lets them take turns ordering for him because he’s never had most of it before, but he never ends up with any strong opinions on any of the holiday items, and he never particularly loves any of them but he never complains about it or shows any distaste in any of it either, the only indication on how he feels about whatever has been ordered for him is that if it’s something he likes his pupils will dilate like a cats, although some of the more colorful treats tend to catch his eye, and if he had to rank the others orders on which he liked best it would probably go cloud (he likes the less sweet desserts), angeal (he likes the mint cocoa, but he prefers spearmint), genesis (he actually quite like the apple cinnamon but isnt fond of pumpkin spice), and zack (he doesn’t dislike it, but he prefers the others)

zack: he feels like he would get every overly sweet treat they sell and is probably an ultra sweet smores coffee drinker, except angeal has to go behind his back and tell the barista to make it decaf, not wanting to deal with a zack hopped up on tons of sugar AND caffeine, but then genesis goes behind angeal’s back and tells the barista to make it as highly caffeinated as possible

cloud: he would probably mainly just get a few of the less sweet holiday pastries and maybe a gingerbread hot cocoa/coffee if he had to get a drink, but he also lets the others order for him when he goes out with them just because he doesn’t want to cause too much trouble

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe 2023 Project

I've repurposed the bar from The Danglin' Anchor Pirate Bar for the Cafe's coffee bar. I'm going to try to find my old 80's era 11 1/2" doll retail counter to be the pastry case.

I made sure my girls are all wearing *something* under their skirts, and set up on the mantel for now.

I need to find some shoes for Pucker. (Unfortunately, the Goodreau shoes have disintegrating glue, both in their construction and also in the fabrication of the vinyl)

I used to have overalls for Josie, but I can't find them now. She's fine in the camo skirt, but I may need to find her some new overalls.

Up to something.

Midori thinks Pucker stole Ariana's cup. She is not wrong.

Looking forward to the party! One already picked up some great snacks, and I will bake when we get closer to the date. I'm planning some Tiny Baked Goods as well as normal sized ones. (2-ingredient pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin bread, pumpkin-spiced scones, and probably cookies.)
