Ingredients
  

For the Buttercream:

  • 1 cup 1 unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Orange gel food coloring
  • 1 tube green premade frosting
  • 1 tube brown premade frosting

Dipper Ideas:

  • Gingerbread men cookies
  • Vanilla wafers
  • Oreos
  • Chocolate chip cookies
  • Oatmeal cookies
  • Thin Mint cookies
  • Shortbread cookies
  • Chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies
  • Campfire M&M’s
  • Graham crackers

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the buttercream is creamy and spreadable. If it’s too thick, add an extra tablespoon of cream.
  • Divide the buttercream into bowls. Leave a small portion white for detailing, and tint the rest orange using orange gel food coloring. Mix well until you get a vibrant pumpkin color.
  • Fill the piping bag with the orange buttercream, using the #4 tip. Pipe the outline of small pumpkins across a large board or platter. You can make as many pumpkins as you like, depending on the size of your board.
  • Use a mini offset spatula to spread the orange buttercream inside the pumpkin outlines, creating a smooth surface.
  • Fill the piping bag with the green premade frosting and attach the #352 tip. Pipe small leaves and stems on top of each pumpkin for a festive touch.
  • Using the brown premade frosting, add vine details or extra accents to the pumpkins to enhance the look. You can swirl the vines around the pumpkins for a rustic, fall vibe.
  • Surround your buttercream pumpkins with an array of dippers like gingerbread men, graham crackers, and cookies. Let everyone dip and enjoy the creamy goodness!
