- 6 tablespoons (90 ml) butter, divided
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 350F (175C), ensuring an ideal baking environment for the tiny cakes.

- Distribute the mixture evenly across the Silicone Bar Pan wells, maintaining consistent portion sizes.
- Position the pan on a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven, allowing 20-25 minutes of baking time until a toothpick emerges cleanly from the center.
- Extract the pan and permit the cakes to cool completely, then gently detach from the silicone molds.
- Craft a luxurious frosting by blending softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, Pumpkin Spice Bar Mix packet 2, remaining butter, and Cinnamon Maple Seasoning.
- Whip the mixture using an electric mixer at high speed until the frosting transforms into a light, airy texture.
- Transfer the frosting into a piping bag, creating elegant swirls atop the cooled cakes.
- Refrigerate the decorated tiny cakes to maintain their fresh, delicate consistency.
Notes
- Enhance moisture by adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the cake batter for extra tenderness.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing the Cinnamon Maple Seasoning to suit personal taste preferences.
- Make the recipe gluten-free by substituting the Pumpkin Spice Bar Mix with a gluten-free alternative or using almond flour.
- Create a vegan version by replacing cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese and using plant-based butter alternatives.
