How to make a Pumpkin Cake – Cake Decorating tutorials

How to make a pumpkin cake – the perfect gift for a fall inspired cake whether it’s a birthday celebration or Thanksgiving dessert table. Made with rich, delicious chocolate mud cake and frosted with my velvet American buttercream before being covered in fondant. An airbrushed spray adds more depth and characteristic to the final look of the cake.

I had to give one of Rhea’s teachers a birthday gift. What would be so perfect than a Pumpkin cake? Right? I wanted to make it kinda without much carving and wasting cake. Most often you see a pumpkin cake tutorial and there is so much carving to make the perfect shape, I wanted to make it more simplified. Everything does not have to be difficult, does it?

And I didn’t want the traditional just bright orange so… here is my version of the pumpkin cake. I do hope you like it.

Well, I have been wanting to make more tutorials especially video tutorials for the blog. With so much happening with the blog mergers and stuff, things have gotten slow. But things are shaping up again and I want to spend more time with you. So I hope you will enjoy this video.
