  • Bake the mini bundt cakes for _ minutes or until _. Let cool before inverting and removing the cake. Repeat process until the batter is gone and all cakes are made.
  • While waiting on all the cakes to cool, make the frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar until silky.
  • Place the frosting in a piping bag with a round tip. Starting from the bottom of the cake, pipe lines and put a little extra in the center of the cake.
