I saw a picture on the front of the Crate and Barrel catalog that had some cute pumpkin shaped treats and I thought they were so cute that I wanted to make them. I went to find the pan but it cost $32.00 so I bagged that idea. I knew I could come up with something similar for much cheaper. So I decided to look for a mini bundt pan. I couldn't find one anywhere. Then the other day we were at JoAnne fabrics of all places and they had a pan that I was looking for. Who would have thought. So I waited until Friday to get the pan because I had a 50% off coupon that day. I got the pan I needed for $5.00. I was thrilled. What a bargain. These are mini pumpkin shaped carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting. They didn't turn out as cute as I imagined but I thought they were pretty good for a first attempt. The next time that I make them I will use a little thicker frosting for the leaves. I also think I will buy a cinnamon stick to use for the stem instead of the raisins that I found in my cupboard. I can't wait to eat them. I imagine they will taste pretty good. Happy October!!!
