Cardamon Coffee Cake with Stumptown Cold Brew Frosting + A Simple Fall Table Setting for the Perfect Afternoon Tea

Spent some time baking with my sister Nicole while in Florida last month. We decided to make a coffee cake after buying some Stumptown Cold Brew and it was pretty tasty. I love how we decided to decorate this beauty of a cake. It's all about presentation my friends. We shot this on a stormy dark day in Florida, and I love how the images turned out. So perfect for some October feels.
