pumpkin spice & everything nice

Composed on

i got the pan yesterday at target. the brand is nordicware and it's the skeleton loaf pan.

i made my first pumpkin spice cake of the season tonight. technically my first pumpkin spice cake ever.

i do not know how to decorate a cake and make it look good. i need to get the correct tools and practice (it's on the list, but like everything, it costs $$)

i was pleasantly surprised at how easily the cake slid out of the pan. i used a little bit of butter and flour.

the skeleton design was bold and you could easily use him as an outline with frosting.

i threw together a simple cream cheese frosting and sprinkled pumpkin spice on the top of him.

he doesn't need to look fancy, i started to eat him seconds after frosting.

the frosting to cake ratio needs to be worked on, but other than that.. it was really thick and moist!

who says you need to wait for cooler weather to enjoy autumn activities?? it was 100°F  here today
