I made this for my hubby's work potluck to celebrate October b-days. Its 2 bundt cakes stacked. I did do a board & dowels in between but mainly for ease of serving and because I did two separate flavors for the 2 cakes. Covered in fondant. Then I used tiger lily petal dust to accent the grooves and I also brushed the dust very lightly over the rest of the pumpkin. Leaves, stem and vines are all fondant. Oh and I did take some extra cake I had & made a "plug" to go in the top hole of the bundt cake.
