Pumpkin Palooza
My first attempt to make a 3-D Cake for a local contest and cake walk fundraiser. I used two (ovenproof glass bowls) for the two halves. The cake was pound cake with canned pumpkin added.
I assembled cake when cool, covered with buttercream and did my first attempt at MMFondant. I used a small Ice Cream cone for stem and covered it with fondant. Created a few vines and cookie cutter leaves.
I was surprised how well it came out...I won the contest of 140 cake entries. Am working on a 3-D Christmas tree cake this season.
