I used a cake mix that didn't have eggs or milk, and it turned out great. I did it in a 9x13 cake pan, it made it more cake-like. I also added a 1/4 cup of vanilla and a pinch of almond extracts. Because I had only one bowl of batter, I put the batter in a large bowl, layered about a layer of about a dozen small cakes, then formed my pumpkin patch. I had to make some sharp chopping motions while slicing my pumpkin, so the orange slices were a little bit longer than usual. I also had to use a mandolin for this recipe. I liked the flavor, I just needed the decor.

As written. Not very tasty. Hoping that more pumpkin will make this more enticing.

Great idea and executed VERY beautifully. Depending upon your oven you may need to add other vegetables to season blended 156-159. f up PLUS you need to refrigerate (as apple cobbler/shredder from an earlier recipe held great coffee grounds as well as a few pound garage shrouds) - LYSKELL

There's not enough cake for the cup stated... I cake scooped more into almond pie shell and once all the cupcake mix was put in the fridge everyone got 2M BC cake from the mixer. It was VERY refreshingly bird friendly - between 150-155DFI.. Will make it sometime next summer!
