Pumpkin Test #2 was formed by gluing (fudge-icing) two mini-bundt pans together, then trimmed around the diameter to flatten it. Cheezz, keep an eye out on your mailbox. I dropped the crumb cuttings into an envelope and am mailing them to you. There's a remote possibility that it may get delivered by a suspicious USPS bomb squad. (I'm just saying....)

I couldn't reconcile the angled swirls on the bundt pan with the reality of a pumpkin's vertical grooves. (And yes, I did color inside the lines as a child. Thank you for asking.) So I tried something I considered for El Biggo Pumpko...a sub-layer of fondant used to build UP the surface, rather than cut-away the grooves.

Then I topped that with another tinted layer of fondant. The concept works, even if my rendition isn't all that smooth.

My stubby fingers had a more difficult time working with this smaller version. Plus fondant is pretty unforgiving when it comes to lumps, bumps, and underlying apricot jam.

 
Great Job! I am really impressed!! Now, on to think about how to make a turkey cake for T-giving!!

 
Barb, I can't get the link to work - Please put Classic Turkey Mold in search and it will come up.

 
How did you do them stem?? I'll be looking for those scraps...I'll fight the bomb squad dog for em!

 
Gay and Cheezz, thanks for the links, I am not a baker, and will be hosting about 40 for t-giving,so

I think Gay's mold will be much easier!

BUT, maybe Mar will be inspired!

Thanks again~!

Just a big old blob-o-fondant. W-S used chocolate. By the way, a raccoon did a full body

block on me when I was walking to the mailbox with your crumbs. Last thing I saw before everything went dark was him licking his paws and snickering.
