5 Easy Steps To Make A 3-D Pumpkin Cake


3-D pumpkin cakes are really easy to make. I've included a photo from professional baker Alison Turner for reference, but can you can do this at home in a few simple steps.

1. Bake two Bundt cake using your favorite recipe.

2. Put one cake upside down on a platter, and frost the top surface using canned frosting. Place the other cake on top, and youve got a basic pumpkin.

3. Tint white, canned frosting orange, and ice the cake.

4. Use prepared fondant, a sugar clay available at many craft or baking supply stores, to decorate the pumpkin and turn it into a Jack-O-Lantern. Choose brightly colored fondant, such as yellow for the facial features and green for the leaves.

5. Roll out the fondant and use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out the shapes and apply them to the cake.
