How to Make Pumpkin Patch Cake Cute

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two bundt cake pans and two cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare your chosen cake batter according to package directions or your favorite recipe. Divide the batter evenly between the two bundt cake pans and the two cupcake liners.
  3. Bake the bundt cakes according to package directions or recipe, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (approximately 30-35 minutes).
  4. Bake the cupcakes according to package directions or recipe, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (approximately 18-20 minutes).
  5. Let the bundt cakes and cupcakes cool completely in their pans before inverting onto a wire rack.
  6. Once completely cool, frost the two bundt cakes generously with your favorite pumpkin spice frosting.
  7. Carefully place one bundt cake on top of the other, slightly offsetting them to create a more pumpkin-like shape.
  8. Frost the entire pumpkin with the remaining frosting, creating ridges and imperfections to mimic a real pumpkin.
  9. Use a small amount of frosting to attach the cooled cupcakes to the top of the larger bundt cake to form the stem. Add extra frosting details as desired (leaves, etc.).
  10. Chill the completed pumpkin cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
