Fall Inspired Cakes Inspiration
Happy fall! I love this time of year because I don’t really like the heat and super cold, so the fall weather temperatures are perfect for me! There are plenty of reasons to love this season, lots of options for fall flavors such as pumpkin pie cake, cinnamon roll cake, and all of the pumpkin pie spice! Without further ado, here are some stunning fall cake ideas from the Instagram cake community!
Thanksgiving Cakes



These are the Thanksgiving two-layer cakes I did last year as part of my cake business’ seasonal flavors line up. I offered Pecan Pie Cake, Apple Pie Cake, and Salted Caramel Cake with homemade caramel because these are my favorite fall flavors. SO GOOD! The pecan pie cake was covered with brown sugar buttercream, OMG! I will link to the recipes I used at the bottom. I am dying to try sweet potato cake next.
