What’s better than a plastic pumpkin full of candy on Halloween? How about a pumpkin-shaped cake with sweet treats hiding inside?
This is the second pinata cake I have made for Tablespoon.com, and this cake is easier than you’d think. I baked two bundt cakes, sandwiched them together and hid candy inside under a cake cone stem. Of course, the decorations on the outside took some time, but this cake can be made without any decoration at all. You can just fill it with candy, add a stem and call it a day. Either way, kids and adults will surely get a kick out of this festive Halloween cake.

You can see the recipe for this Pumpkin Pinata Cake over at Tablespoon.com.
