Candy Corn Cake

 To make it feel more like autumn around here, I'm breaking out the candy corn!

I need help because we don't really have autumn here in Florida.
The leaves don't change color and our nights don't get cooler.
October is pretty much like summer with Halloween decorations.

But candy corn feels like autumn.  
That simple, tri-colored, quintessential Halloween candy.
Here are those sweet triangles in cake form...
 

If you would like to make this design, here are some specifics:
  • I baked my cake in three 8 inch round cake pans.
  • The candy corn are 2.5 inches across at the base, and fit perfectly all the way around the cake.
  • I piped the dots using a Wilton #5 round tip. Yes, it took a long time!


Just for fun, the white cake layer is vanilla flavored...
the orange layer is orange flavored...
and the yellow layer is lemon flavored.


Don't the colors just make you happy?


Enjoy!

 I share my recipes and tutorials at these fun link parties.

    Wow! Your cake is fantastic! My weekly linky party--One Creative Weekend--has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit "One Creative Weekend" on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
