I made this today for my bunco club. The cake looks great and tastes good. How in the world do you get the fruit roll up to unroll and cut for the leaves? It just sticks together.

I used cream cheese icing and colored that instead. The cream cheese simply taste better with spice or carrot cake. Also, I piped my vertical lines on the cake in lieu of spreading the icing and trying to achieve the effect pictured. I used a rounded flat tip. Looked great with lots of awesome reviews for both taste and presentation. I rule!

I used the spice cake and added 1/2 a can of pumpkin. It was a very tasty cake and went together well. However, I was not able to frost it and make it look like the one in the picture at all. I was happy w/ the flavor but disappointed with the presentation of the project.

I add 1/2 can of pumpkin (not pie filling) to each cake mix, and bake in Bundt pans. I cut the top off each cooled cake to make it even. When placed together on the serving plate, I match the ridges in the cakes for a very realistic looking pumpkin. An ice cream cone for the stem fills the hole. If I have the time and energy, I pipe green or chocolate icing along the grooves of the Bundt cake and fill in with orange icing stars. If it's for Halloween, I outline a face, too, and fill in with yellow icing. It's "boo"-tiful! Lol
