"Satisfy your pumpkin cravings with this moist pumpkin cake. The pumpkin flavoring comes from one of my all-time favorite puddings: Pumpkin Spice Pudding by Jell-O. Add the pudding mix to a white cake and it all falls together. You’ll love the way the cake rises so evenly, I didn’t even have to level the top before frosting. The smooth creamy frosting has cinnamon in it to perfectly compliment the Autumn theme of the cake. Absolutely scrumptious."

NotesPlease go to the blog for directions on how to achieve the tri-colored Autumn flowers on the cake.
