Cake That Looks Like Pumpkin Pie!!

If you did a one layer larger round and trimmed the edges so that the bottom was slightly narrower than the top, you could use gray icing to make it look like a tin pan. You would need to use quite a firm cake to hold this shape though. You could frost the top like the color of the pumpkin pie and pipe the crust around the edges. Sounds like a really cute idea!
Sorry - edited to fix my spelling!
If you wanted it to have fruit on it like a pie, you could probably hollow a little of the cake out and put some pie filling there and then use icing to do the criss-cross lattice across the top! Just another idea... HTH! And can't wait to see pictures!
you can use luster dust to paint fondant silver for the pie tin. and i just read on a thread somewhere that jello made a limited release pumpkin spice instant pudding. maybe you can make a custard or mousse out of that and do what daisyz said (hollow out some cake) and put that filling in so it can look more like pumpkin pie.
I would start with the pie upside down. Trim it so the smaller part is up. Cover it with fondant and then you can make the tin pan kind of ridges in the and have more control. Let it get a little hard then flip it over and fill it with an orange-y colored icing. For the crust you could probably just pipe icing around with a light tan
