I googled images "Ann Geddes baby"......this line is on pg 9 or 10.

The 2009 wilton book has some cute ideas with their 3d pumkin pan. They turned it in to a carriage . Its pretty cute.

You could bake two bundt cakes. Put the one upside down for the bottom of the pumpkin and put the other on top for the top of the pumpking. Add a stem, leaves, tendrils. If you are good with fondant figures, a little mouse peeking out from behind or just maybe he got inside the pumpkin would be cute! Williams-Sonoma has a picture of a cake that looks like this idea in their current catalog. You can likely see it online at their site.

IF you are good with Fondant, why don't you do a pumpkin patch with a baby holding a either a pumpkin, or a 1? Also could do the 3D pumpkin, and instead of the steam make the #1 in place of it.?

Or how about a pumpkin patch with a baby hiding in the middle looking over one of the pumpkins.

My mom (CakeRN) did a pumkin cake for my nephews first birthday, she has the picture uploaded here on CC. She also did a red wagon with little pumpkins (cake balls covered with chocolate), there is a picture of this cake as well. You should check them out maybe they will give you an idea to expand upon or at least a place to start.

It's Debbie Brown. If you check out her excellent website there are lots of pictures of the cakes in her books, it might be among them. Good luck xx
