With a nod to traditional Michaelmas dragon breads, this little layer cake is made with old-fashioned rolled oats and paired with the symbolic last blackberries of the season.

Not only is September 29 the feast day of St. Michael, but this festival also marks the changing of the seasons as autumn slowly takes over. This is a wonderful time of year to slow down and savor the last warm days.

Celebrate Michaelmas with this DIY salt dough dragon that can be used as a candle holder on your dinner table or nature tray.
