INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12 mini Bundt pans with nonstick baking spray.

- When cakes are done, unmold and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar with 3 or 4 Tbsp of water to make a thick glaze.
- Using a sharp knife, trim the bottom of each cake to they’re flat and assemble into pairs.
- Spread a small amount of the glaze on one side of the flat cake and assemble the pairs to form pumpkins.
