These Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes not only look like super cute little pumpkins but they’re also pumpkin spice cake flavored!
This post/recipe was created for #PumpkinWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Today is the first day of #PumpkinWeek 2019 where myself and a bunch of other bloggers are sharing some amazing pumpkin recipes with everyone. So what recipe did I pick for my first recipe of the week? Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes of course! Not only do they look like little pumpkins but they are pumpkin flavored too.
What you’ll need to make Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes:
- spice cake mix
- pumpkin pie mix
- chocolate frosting
- mini marshmallows
- water
- powdered sugar
- Orange Food Coloring
- Green Food Coloring
- Fall sprinkles
The cake part of this recipe couldn’t be easier!
It’s just pumpkin pie filling mix and a spiced cake mix combined to create one of the most flavorful fall cakes out there!
Then I poured melted chocolate frosting over them and covered them with a super simple homemade fondant to make them actually look like little pumpkins.
Don’t worry though, homemade fondant is super easy to make and it taste really good.
I’ve got the entire recipe below for you with ingredients and direction on how to make these little pumpkin cakes and how to decorate them with homemade fondant. These would be perfect for Thanksgiving or Halloween!
