Use pure pumpkin purée, NOT pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and other ingredients. Use a cake strip to create a flat cake layer. Soak these wilton cake strips in ice water before starting the cake batter. Just before baking, wrap the cake strip around the pan. The cold temperature on the outside of the cake will prevent the edges from baking faster than the center, resulting in an evenly baked flat cake. Use cold cream cheese & heavy cream. In order to create a sturdy whipped cream cheese frosting, pay close attention to the temperature of the ingredients. Cold cream cheese will ensure it's thick enough, while cold heavy cream will whip up and give the frosting enough structure. Cream the cream cheese & sugar thoroughly. Cream the two until completely smooth before adding the heavy cream to avoid over-mixing and risk the frosting splitting!
