a creative dessert for an evening of fun

We had some friends over last night for dinner and games and it was so much fun.  As of Friday night we had NO plans for Saturday night and thought - 'why not have some friends over'.  So glad we did.  We had beef stew, salad, corn bread and these mini bundt cakes made to look like pumpkins.  We played Imagine If and Bill won.  But the rest of use were very close behind.  Then we had  boys vs girls for Cranium and the girls won!  

These mini pumpkins look sort of like something you'd take to a grade school party but the more I look at them the cuter they get.  They were quite tasty though.  I made a brown sugar cake recipe (from scratch!) and frosted them with a butter cream frosting.  I used a 12 cavity mini fluted pan that I got years ago and have only used once so far!  I took two mini cakes and put them bottoms together with icing in the middle to hold and then iced the top. The pumpkin stems are broken pieces of Pirouette cookies by Pepperidge Farm.   I'm certainly NO Martha Stewart, but they do look kind of cute!
