What’s Better Than Pumpkin Spice? Pumpkin Frosting, of Course.

It was a gloomy day, not what you would expect for early October. Across the state, fields were still green, but here in my small town, the leaves were a fall orange, red, and yellow. The sun had barely shown itself this morning, promising another cold and dreary day.

I pulled out my pumpkin frosting recipe from my old baking book. I had been meaning to make it for weeks, but other things always got in the way. I was happy to finally get to it.

I gathered my ingredients-sugar, water, evaporated milk, and eggs-and set to work. I had never made frosting like this before, but I found the recipe easy to follow.

After mixing everything together, I put it in a bowl and chilled it until ready to use.

I decided to decorate my pumpkin using the frosting. I started by lightly spraying the pumpkin with non-stick cooking spray and then spraying the frosting on. It was a bit messy, but it didn’t take long to get everything covered.

Next, I decided to add some pipe cleaners for a bit of added character. I twisted them around until they were covered, then stuck them in the crevices of the frosting.

I was happy with how my pumpkin looked, but I wasn’t done yet. I decided to add some shredded candy bars to the top. I spread them evenly across the top of the pumpkin, then used a fork to make sure they were evenly distributed.

Finally, I added some of my homemade sprinkles and turned my pumpkin into a festive masterpiece. It was the best pumpkin frosting I’d ever made, and I was sure my friends and family would love it.

I dug out my old baking book and decided to make some more frosting. I was excited to experiment and make my own variations. I was sure that I could come up with something better than the old recipe.

As I finished frosting my second pumpkin, I was glad that I had decided to make this recipe. It was simple to follow and produced fantastic results.
