I made this cake and it was okay, mostly my issues. The food color made the icing runny and hard to apply, should have refrigerated it first. Also the pumpkin seemed to separate from the cake during baking. Not sure what I did wrong.

I forgot to add. I did the "stem" a bit different. I added some brown icing lines and blended to make it hopefully look a bit more real. It was not to bad looking.

I plan to make 2 of these Thanksgiving. One Pumpkin for my family that loves it and a Vanilla one . I plan to use cream cheese frosting for the Pumpkin with a little cinnamon in it and cover the cones with chocolate frosting. I will defiantly post pictures. :-)

OK... love the idea but frosting dripping? The receipe says frosting (I make my own) but this looks more like a glaze. I love the look of the picture mine had lines from the spreader so I tryed the papertowel trick but still did not getting the look I wanted? Help.

A little trick I learned to get rid of the spreader lines...make sure your spreader is clean of all frosting and dip it in cold water. Once you dip it in the water, don't wipe it, and lightly go over your cake and your lines will magically disappear. Just make sure your spreader isn't dripping with water. If you need to repeat (if it's starting to make more lines), wipe off the speader and repeat with water.

I must give this recipe a dazzling review. I thought I loved carrot cake but I stand corrected. This is my new favorite and I will never view cake the same again. I made cupcakes with this recipe and topped with cream cheese frosting. I will definitely be repeating this dessert again!!

Doesn't matter what size can. You only need 1 cup. That's 8 oz.

Have yet to try this cake but I did make it for Thanksgiving dessert tomorrow night :) but I used Chocolate cake (most of my family doesnt like pumpkin) and used two different color oranges for the frosting and a brown cone. I'm very happy with it and cant wait to see what everyone thinks about it and eat it!

an awesome cake. I did my own version with regular frosting tinted with orange, and did the cone in the center.
It was consumed completely!

My husband saw the article in a magazine - wondered if I could make it for Halloween. I went on line - found the recipe and gave it a whirl. It was easy to make and looked really good when I finished. He took it to work - everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for the great tasting and looking recipe.

I can't wait to make this cake! I am making it for a Halloween party my 8yr. old daughter is going to ! She saw the picture and asked me if I would make it! I am going to substitute the spice mix, and just make a chocolate cake instead! Hopefully they will like it!
