Introducing: Pumpkin Bread with Candied Ginger

Anyone who knows me knows that in any of my recipes, there’s always a twist. “What’s the twist?” you ask? Candied ginger!

Pumpkin bread typically contained all the lovely warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, but I amped it up a bit. This recipe is extra spicy but not overpowering. The candied ginger adds bursts of sharpness and moisture.

Speaking of which, this sponge is super moist because it uses a whole can of pumpkin! I formulated the recipe to be extra easy for ya’ll at home. No measuring your pumpkin puree and then having 3 tablespoons of leftover pumpkin that you have no idea what to do with.

This pumpkin bread is also really easy for kids and teens to make (with supervision). The 6-step recipe card makes the baking simple, so you have more time for reading.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna such a cute and cozy read! It follows a lonely witch, Mika Moon, as she finds love and family amongst an unlikely band of characters.

Mika is a British South Asian witch (shout-out to witches of color!) who has spent her whole life trying to go unnoticed. She’s not allowed to socialize with other witches, or else their powers may gather magic together and draw too much attention. This leaves social media as her only outlet.

After being recognized as a real witch from her “fake magic” videos, she is asked to take a position as a tutor at Nowhere House. Her job: teach three young witches how to control their magic.

Nowhere House’s quirky residents soon become a makeshift family to Mika. But not everything is what it seems. Mika must decide what she’s willing to risk for her chosen family.

Looking Forward

I’m so excited to relaunch bake boxes under Flour & Fiction, and incorporate my love for literature. I hope to further deliver on the Literary Baking Adventures I’ve brought you through the recipes on this blog by pairing the perfect book with a themed bake and a tasty tea in our DIY baking kits.

For winter, I’m planning to release a Cardamom Cinnamon Roll bake box, that’ll be perfect for the holidays.

For those who love a subscription box, I’d love to bring you a new flavor and book of the month in the future. I’ll be working on that. Stay tuned!

Thank You!

I just want to say thank you all so much for supporting me over the years by purchasing, reviewing, and sharing the bake boxes I made under the previous name “Fusion Bake Box”. To everyone who has asked me to bring back bake boxes, thank you for all your encouragement! Can’t wait to see your bakes!
