Instructions

1. Begin by making your icing: Blend softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, orange zest and powdered sugar until smooth. If you want this to be very orange, add a drop of food coloring before putting it into the fridge.

2. Make your cake: - Preheat oven to 350 degrees and mix all remaining dry ingredients

3. Add wet ingredients and blend.

4. Pour into ungreased muffin tins and bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

5. Cool completely before frosting. Add a pretzel stick to the center and decorate with green icing to create vines and leaves.
