Doesn’t it look so delicious on our fall dessert tablescape on the front porch?

So What’s the Pecan Pie Fall Dessert Table Surprise?
Everything Dawn’s cakes, pies, loaves of bread, and more are all handcrafted by Dawn.
That’s right, it’s faux!
Why, you may ask?
Well, it’s easy! Because it’s all about the presentation. These “Fakery Bakeries” can sit on any table, countertop, coffee table, etc., adding the Hygge of fresh baked goods while cozying up your home.
I can’t wait to display our Pecan Pie all over the house and porch this fall at our home here in Vermont.
And even better, purchase one of Dawn’s autumn fragrant candles and add the wonderful scent of a pie baking in the oven.
Everything Dawn’s would make such a lovely housewarming or hostess gift, too.
Check out this Table Ready Fakery Bakery Faux-Berry Mousseline tarte that Dawn also gifted us for the summer. I just love this one, too!!
