Here are the cakes that I've made successfully for the pumpkin cake I"m doing. I am not going to stack them as I once hoped and the tall cake didn't survive, but this is for fun and for practice, so it's all okay. No money from a client invested into this one.
Here are the pics of the cakes so far.

Very Cool Rachel!
I will be making one of these in the next day or so for the first time. I want to put some kind of "scary" face on it. Does yours have fondant covering the cakes?
Looks so nice and smooth 
Okay - I made 2 bundt cakes per pumpkin, than proceeded like they I had torted them. I put the dam & filling on one, and then turned the over on top like it was simply another layer. I covered it in buttercream, let it sit in the refridgerated for an hour or two just to give it plenty of time to set up, when I was ready to cover the cake, I rolled out the fondant, took the cake out of the fridge, covered it. I used that spray gun that Duff uses to spray a layer of egg yellow (Americolor) and then a layer of orange. I dusted it with Spiced Pumpkin lustre, Orange petal and I picked a spot and dusted it with a light layer of gold lustre.
That's it so far. I'm going to add a face and a stem today. Don't know whether I want to model a 3 D face and stick it on or just put shape cutouts on it to make it look like a jack o'lantern.

Oh, and I used a 10 inch bundt pan that I got at Walmart. If you want to make it taller, bake another cake in a 10 inch round, let it cool, do some simple shaping. Just be sure to dowel it, cuz by that time ti's about 9-12 inches tall.
