Pumpkin Bread Mini Pumpkins
Pumpkin Bread Mini Pumpkins look like just like pumpkins from their bundt cake shape – great for fall parties as edible halloween decorations!
This post was first published in 2012 – and while a ton of time has passed, and my blog has grown considerably, these continue to be one of my favorite super-easy Halloween desserts because they taste great, are so simple my kids can help me make and decorate them, and they even double as edible Halloween party decor!
I love pumpkin bread– I usually head out to Sam’s Club in the fall months to stock up with as many huge cans as I can to keep me well stocked throughout the year.
This fall, I wanted to try something a little different with my delicious, moist and flavor-packed bread recipe- make them into Pumpkin Bread Mini Pumpkins !
These never-dry pumpkin bread bundt cakes use my favorite spiced pumpkin bread recipe with a simple icing
Making these is incredibly easy- using a mini bundt cake, I baked the following recipe until slightly browned (about 15 minutes in my oven at high altitude- please watch yours closely as my oven tends to be a bit wacky).
When cool, I cut any excess bread off the bottoms of each bundt to have a nice, flat surface- and simply placed on bundt on top of another!
I then iced, and placed a cinnamon stick in the middle as a pumpkin stem.
You can make your icing orange (which I do think looks better for Halloween) or keep it white (which is great for a classier look at Thanksgiving) – however you prefer!
These Pumpkin Bread Mini Pumpkins even make perfectly delicious edible Halloween party decor – how would you display them??

- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

- For The Icing:
- Mix the sugar milk and juice vigorously, until all lumps are gone and icing is shiny.
- For runnier mixure, add more milk. For thicker, add more sugar.
- Drizzle over bread and let set, about 5 minutes.
- Top with cinnamon stick for stem of pumpkin.
