Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12 mini Bundt pans with nonstick baking spray.
-
Prepare cake mix (tinting, if desired) and bake as directed, filling pans halfway with batter.
-
When cakes are done, unmold onto wire rack; let cool completely.
-
In 4-cup measuring cup, combine sugar with 3 to 4 tablespoons water to make thick glaze. With sharp knife, trim bottom of each cake flat; assemble into pairs. Using a small amount of glaze drizzled on flat sides of cakes, assemble pairs to form pumpkins.
-
Drizzle pumpkin cakes with glaze and/or sprinkle with sugar or decors. Break pretzel rods to fit as stems. Moisten pretzels with water and roll in sugar. Insert into centers of pumpkins.
-
Tint marzipan green for leaves. Roll and cut as desired and place around pretzel stems. Let cakes stand until glaze is set.
Why this Pumpkin Patch Cakes works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Pumpkin Patch Cakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
