For the first time in 5 years, I made the pumpkin bundt cake. Both of the layers were spice cake and I used a vanilla whipped cream frosting (colored orange) to frost it. This time, instead of using fruit roll up for the face, I used a black, sparkly gel frosting. The frosting and face sort of dripped / sagged from the weight of it all but it turned out pretty good. The girls loved the idea and "helped" me with the assembly. Here are the full instructions if you want to try it for Halloween!
If you want to make another pumpkin dessert, there are SO many on the blog, but this is probably my favorite: Pumpkin Crumb Cake. Okay, one more (hard to choose!) Pumpkin "Tiramisu."
Last year, I did a retrospective with photos of the kids with pumpkins in years past. Here is the 2015 update: last weekend, we carved pumpkins with our church group.
Middle was super excited that she was allowed to use carving tools all by herself.
Big sketched her ideas before choosing what to carve on her pumpkin:
When the kids were tired of carving, the parents could be found still diligently working on pumpkins:
