Oh is it a happy day here at Wenderly!!! For months now My Yanni and I have been discussing, drawing out plans, discussing again, picking fonts, changing fonts, redesigning logos & icons, discussing more, picking out font sizes, drawing layouts, comparing color palettes, agreeing on layouts, then changing layouts, creating categories, drawing graphics, making multiple lists and checking them thrice.  Then one day after discussing and refreshing the page for the umpteenth time and holding our breath for what seemed to be an eternity…the new Wenderly was born.

And here it is. Pop the bubbly!

I made pumpkin bread petit fours to celebrate! I hope you’ll join me!

It seems only appropriate that Wenderly be reborn in Autumn. I simply adore the beautiful transformation of the warm humid air into crisp clear days, the abundant harvest of perfect pumpkins and tart apples and I especially love the parade of color that seems to happily saunter down every avenue.

It gives me a totally new outlook on life. A fresh perspective. And a craving for nestling into creativity and capturing all the senses.

I just used my favorite boxed pumpkin bread, made a scrumptious chocolate glaze and then topped them off with festive little candy corns & pumpkins.

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 7 oz of dark chocolate (good for melting)

  2. Line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.

  5. Meanwhile, break the chocolate into pieces, place into a heat-proof bowl and heat over a pan of low bowling water until the chocolate is melted. Take care not to burn the chocolate.
  6. Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the chocolate until it is glossy and shiny.
  7. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of confectioners sugar to thicken the glaze. It should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
  8. After the bread has cooled turn it out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 equal pieces.
  9. Shake off extra crumbs, place the pumpkin bread square onto a large fork and hold over the bowl of melted chocolate.
  10. Carefully spoon the chocolate glaze all over each square then slide the chocolate covered square onto a cooling rack to set while you cover the other squares.
  11. Place a candy corn or pumpkin in the center of each square.
  12. Pop the finished petit fours into the freezer for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate glaze really set.
  13. Enjoy!
