Making a cake

Some of you asked how I made the cake. I used a bunt pan for the cake and made one cupcake for the stem. I flipped the cupcake upside down and put it in the middle for the stem. I had to use toothpicks to keep it from falling down in the hole. There were a lot of ideas out there, but this seemed to be the easiest. To frost it I just pulled the knife from the center and down so it looked more like a pumpkin. It was a fun project.

There was another idea I found, but didn't have the time or enough cake mix. It used two bunts. You put one upside down and then stacked the other one on top so it would look like a whole pumpkin. Thank goodness for the Internet, it helps me be creative. Have fun!

I love the cake, it's SO CUTE. I am sure it was a big hit at the party. I agree, I can't really be creative on my own, but when I get the idea from somewhere else I feel like I can sort of be artsy/crafty. Awesome job!
