So I've seen pictures all over the internet for a pumpkin-shaped cake using two bundt cakes put together. My question is, can I use the extra egg and pudding mix additions to a cake mix for this type of cake? Will it be too heavy or TALL? I already have 2 boxes of Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti cake, and on the box there are instructions for the cake, but prepared as normal without the additions. Help! ![]()
I almost always use the extra egg and pudding mix (except when I make more drastic additions!), and it worked fine for the pumpkin cakes my dh and I did last year. It's definitely not too heavy, and I don't notice much difference in height with or without the extra egg and pudding mix.
So it's okay to add pudding to a BC or Pillsbury mix that already has pudding? My concern is that it would be too moist and gooey.
I usually do it with Duncan Hines, but have also used BC without any problems. (I don't use Pillsbury after several flops--using the box directions.)
tmt--you can also bake in pyrex or stainless steel bowls. In that case, you have to do a little cutting to shape the half-spheres.
ooohhhh, is that how those pumpkins cakes are made?? using bundt pans?
is there another way to make them if you don't have a bundt pan?

I did one using round cake pans. I used a 6in, 7in and 8 in, and cut the 6 and 7 in half and stacked them 6, 7, 8, 7, 6. From there I carved them more into the shape I wanted them.
