Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Yes as you can see we are on a pumpkin kick. We butchered a pumpkin earlier in the week. So this was fresh/never frozen pumpkin. YUM. My son’s birthday was yesterday and he actually requested not a store bought cake. Which he usually does (because it usually is a theme cake). He wanted a pumpkin…

Pumpkin Pie (and mini pies too!)
