I've seen several people use the bundt pan for a pumpkin or the base in a tree stump. So what do you fill the hole with? Icing? Filling?

I'm worried about somone cutting into it the cake and ending up with a big glob of icing. Or even worse, filling running all over the cakeboard. Maybe I'll try to cut a piece of cake about the size of the hole to kind of stuff in it.

Has anyone done this? What did you use? Help!! icon_surprised.gif

Several on here have used flat bottom ice cream cones with icing piped on it.

I took a cupcake and stuffed it into the hole then added my ice cream cone top. The cupcake gave support for the cone to sit on and I still got the height for my stem.

The idea of stuffing the hole with a cupcake is wonderful. I've always had a dread of the bundt pan because of the hole. I've covered the hole with fondant and pretended it didn't exist, and continued to decorate the cake, with success but the hole always bothered me. I'm planning on doing a "fall" cake for Thanksgiving, so this is a wonderful time to see the thread. Thank You!

The cupcake idea is great! When I did my pumpkin cake I stuffed it full of mini marshmallows and told everyone it was the "pumpkin seeds"

I'm boring. Because I was going to be transporting my pumpkin cake, I cut a circle in the cake board between the two cakes, and inserted a plastic wrap covered paper towel tube section, to keep the two cakes from shifting relative to each other. (Like a really big dowel rod!). I put the candy melts covered ice cream cone on top of that.

I like the cupcake idea, though.

Once as a fun raiser for the fire/rescue dept. I wrapped a pkt of cream of tarter in foil, put it in the hole, covered it and sold chances 4/$1.00 guessing what was the surprise inside. The only hint it was edible. Made $54.00 so... a hole can be a good thing I guess...( The prize was you won the cake lol)
