Isn't it pretty?

| We're all grins during the month of October! |
The Hubby and me bought a cool Wilton skull cake pan from Jo-Ann's fabrics last weekend (on sale $26! a much better deal than Michael's which was charging $39) and got to baking last night, as a sort of 'practice run' for this month's festivities. (And you can bet there will be plenty of festivities!)
The pan came with a booklet with some recipes. We tried the pumpkin spice pound cake one, which is pictured above. It came out perfectly! Last year we canned our own pumpkin with one of the fairy tale pumpkins we had, so it was not only fun but a sense of real pride that we used some of that. Yep, us homesteaders are mighty self reliant when it comes to bakin' a cake, hoo-weeeeee!!!
Can't wait to slather on some cream cheese frosting! Plus, I have one of those giant syringe things that I can use to inject some sort of filling (cherry? raspberry jam? pistachio pudding?) for an added surprise when it's finally cut open.
Did I wish everyone a Happy October yet???

Yummy! Cake, skulls and The Great Pumpkin! The cake turned out fab too. Really life-life. WIth that cream cheese frosting, I bet it looked even more delectable. Good job!
