Colorful cake mix is used to create this Candy Corn Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, the perfect dessert to celebrate the fall season.
It’s #LeftoversClub time again! We skipped October because, well, things were just getting a little crazy and people needed a little time to regroup. But we’re back and better than ever. There’s only a few of us participating this month, but that’s okay. Quality over quantity!
I found Pillsbury Funfetti Cupcake Mixes while digging around in the baking aisle at Publix one day — I looked down at my hands and realized I was holding the orange and yellow mixes and had a genius idea! Candy Corn Cake! A layer of yellow cake, a layer of orange cake, and a layer of cream cheese frosting topped with candy corn — what a festive way to celebrate the season! My cream cheese frosting is super simple to make, and even more delicious to eat. All it takes is a block of cream cheese and a few tablespoons of powdered sugar. That’s it! Two ingredients. Two minutes of mixing. Does it get any easier?
I wanted to send my sister something at school and these fun Candy Corn-inspired treats would do the trick. But after making three batches of mini cupcakes for her and her friends to enjoy, I still had batter leftover. So, Elizabeth, your #LeftoversClub dessert truly is from LEFTOVERS! I didn’t know what I was going to make for this month’s swap and was kind of stressing over it. How convenient that there was plenty of batter left to make a loaf cake!
I love when things work themselves out.
