Pumpkin Patch Cake

Pumpkin Patch Cake

A few weeks ago I bought these huge pumpkin marshmallows and I still have a lot leftover so I wanted to come up with something else 'fun' to make with the kids!  On the back of the package it had a suggestion to make a pumpkin patch brownie so I changed it up to make it my own.  While the cake was baking I piped the green candy melt vines and brown chocolate stem onto the pumpkins.  I also piped separate vines and leaves which I used for more decorations.  I let these things harden so that they were ready to put on the cake for added touches of decorations.  I started with a basic cake (yes, I use cakes from a box) and I put brown coloured icing on the entire cake.  Next step was to sprinkle on the crushed mint OREOs, which my kids loved to crush!  I then added the piped vines and pumpkins and the pumpkin patch cake is complete.  A super cake idea for autumn or Halloween!

Crushed Mint OREOs for our dirt!
