Excellent Cake!
This cake was very easy to make and tasted amazing! Though I did not add as much sugar as the receipe called for the frosting. Still very good.

Pumpkin Spice Cake
I love this cake! I have made it a couple of times now and someone always wants the recipe. We like a little more cream cheese flavor so I cut back on the sugar a little and add some extra cream cheese.

Anniversary delight
I made this cake for my in-laws anniversary and they loved it. It was a hit with everyone. I did not use the ghost decorations, but the cake and cream cheese frosting were wonderful!

Pumpkin Spice Ghost Cake
This cake was very easy to bake. I was intimidated by the decorations as I am not very crafty. It turned out OK and looked like a child did the decorating but it was still delicious! I love spice cakes and I love anything with pumpkin in it so it was a winner!
