Pumpkin spice season is finally here and you can have it in cake form. This super-sized latte cake comes complete with a hidden pumpkin surprise and some delicious caffeinated buttercream.
Pumpkin spice, cold brew and cocoa, oh my!
You'll need two 6-inch and two 7-inch cakes, plus two all-orange 5-inch cakes if you want to create the pumpkin surprise inside!
Trim the tops to reveal the color swirl, and cut each layer in two if you want a whole latte layers.
Warning: Caffeinated fluff is seriously addicting!
Stack your cakes from large to small, filling each layer with the luscious cold brew buttercream.
Trim at a slight angle to start creating a cup shape.
No need for straight lines here; the more irregular, the more deliciously realistic!
Use a flat edge to even out the buttercream frosting.
A colorful layer of pumpkin-orange buttercream gives your cake some seasonal style.
Sculpt your two 5-inch orange cakes into domes. Then give one a knobby “stem” on top.
Join the halves with orange buttercream to complete your spicy, delicious mini pumpkin.
Take a deep breath and go for it. Turning the cake around will give you the distinct latte cup shape.
Hide your pumpkin inside a mound of white “whip” buttercream.
Pipe a frilly swirl of whip to top off your latte.
OMG PSL FTW!
