Mini Bundt Cake Pan Pumpkins

Sometimes I buy things at Goodwill for no reason at all.  These mini bundt cake pans that I got for .50 a piece are an example.  I have no idea why I brought them home with me last spring.  I don’t really bake, unless you consider making Tollhouse cookies from the pre-made dough tube to be baking.  These mini bundt cake pans were turned into adorable pumpkins for fall decor!

So these little bundt cake pans sat in my basement until I got the idea to make them into pumpkins for some fall decor in my kitchen!  Four year olds.Turn mini bundt cake pans into pumpkins for your fall decor! These are a perfect fall decoration for the kitchen or anywhere else in the home!

Do they look like pumpkins to you?  I think they do, but my son says no.  I think he’s thinking too literally.

    What a great idea, Bre!! I laughed when I read you bought them without knowing what you were going to do with them, because I have two bundt pans in my basement for the same reason – haha! I LOVE how you decided to use them in your fall decor!
