Somehow it just seemed fitting to serve Pumpkin dishes at our annual Pumpkin Patch Party. For the first few years I did all the cooking so it was imperative that I find recipes I could make ahead and freeze. Pumpkin Pound Cake is one of the first things I cook each year. It is delicious and it freezes beautifully.
I bake it in a bundt cake pan and drizzle it with a glaze, tinted orange. Each year I made several to be sure and have enough for the crowd. One year I baked two and inverted them on top of each other to have an actual pumpkin shaped cake. I frosted them orange and had vines streaming from the center stem. The only problem was, it was so pretty no one wanted to cut it! So, if you do this, be sure to cut the first few slices for your guest, so they know they have permission!
Today, I will be baking my cakes and freezing them. Glazing will be postponed until the week of the party. Pictures will be up soon! If you’re planning a party this year and have much cooking to do, I suggest you freeze a few things to make your life easier. And if you’re wondering what to make… This cake should be at the top of your list. It’s easy and delicious.

October 4, 2013 at 8:10 amThis sounds delicious and is very timely as one of last year’s Halloween pumpkins had “babies” this year. We have about twenty or so pumpkins growing in our backyard and I have been thinking of different ways of cooking them. Baking sounds like a great idea. (It’s either that or time to carve a ton of jack o’lanterns!) Thanks.
