Forest Friends Cake! 🐢🐛🐸🐞🍄Adorned with marzipan mushies, a turtle, snail, inchworms, and ladybugs! The cake is a moist pumpkin delight with a vanilla buttercream! I’ve always wanted to make a cake with a whole slew of forest buddies! This was so much fun! Here’s the recipe!

2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups oil (coconut, melted butter, walnut oil, vegetable, etc)
1 16-ounce can pumpkin
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 3-ounce packages instant vanilla pudding mix
5 eggs (or 1 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce)
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and line five 6” cake pans.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly. Pour the batter into your cake pans evenly. Bake for roughly 30 minutes. Watch your cakes and once a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean you’ll know they’re ready. Allow cakes to cool in their pans for 30 minutes before transterring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
While the cakes cool you can begin working on the frosting. 

1 cup of butter (at room temp)
3 tsp vanilla extract
5-6 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
2-4 tbs half and half + more if needed
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the butter, vanilla, and 2 tsp half and half. Add in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Add in more half and half of icing is too thick and more sugar if it’s too thin. Spread the icing evenly in between each layer and over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
