In Heda's Delights, does Lexa make special pumpkin flavored baked goods and treats during Halloween? What are Aden and Clarke's favorite ones to steal off the counter?
Of course! Lexa loves doing seasonal baking and with local ingredients so when its pumpkin season, she goes all out 🥰
Lexa does a bunch! Layered cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, pumpkin loaf, cheesecake and, of course, pumpkin pie. Now there are two types of cakes in Heda's Delights bakery: the more elaborate cutesy ones, so nicely decorated with pumpkins and ghosts that Lincoln so happily decorates and the more simple, homemade looking, with a rustic feeling that Lexa decorates.
Clarke's favorite cakes have always been the ones Lexa has been making since they were teenagers, it just touches this nostalgic point in her, just a seventeen year old kid, sitting in Lexa's parents' kitchen watching her bake, absolutely in love with her.
And the one Lexa always made around this time that is now a best seller is her layered pumpkin and chocolate marble cake with a nice chocolate ganache. Clarke is downright obsessed with it, missed it so dearly when she was in Paris (she missed all of Lexa's baking. She was surrounded by the best pastries and yet all she wanted was Lexa's). Lexa tends to save a slice for her since they go so fast so when Clarke and Aden walk in in the afternoon after Clarke picks him up from school, she has it saved for her, along side a pumpkin spice latte.
Aden doesn't like pumpkin 😅 he says it tastes gross, but much like Clarke, his ultimate favorite cake ever is red velvet and Lincoln makes these adorable cake pop caldrons with Lexa's red velvet cake that Aden loves alongside a warm mug of hot chocolate, with pumpkin shaped marshmallows.
If its not too busy, Lexa will sit down with them with a slice of the pumpkin and chocolate cake too, the one she didn't eat for years because it reminded her of Clarke too much and a warm coffee, enjoying her little family's company on a chilly fall's day 🥰
