Cake #27: The Great Pumpkin Patch

Since there are a couple Halloween cakes I plan on trying this year, I thought I'd get an early start by making these simple pumpkin cupcakes (from Hello, Cupcake.) These easy cupcakes were made by mounding a large lump of buttercream frosting atop a French Vanilla cupcake. After smoothing the icing, I merely dipped them in orange sugar crystals.

To finish the cupcakes, I added a short section of watermelon twizzler (from a Rainbow favored pack) for the stem. Finally, I used a slightly darker orange to create the line segments in the pumpkins flesh; I used a tip 3 to complete these lines, but I really wish I'd have used a larger tip.
