Candy-Filled Pinata Cakes

This Pumpkin-Shaped Cake is Filled with Sweet Treats

Baskin-Robbins released a pumpkin-shaped cake filled with 'M&M's Minis.' With Halloween only a few weeks away, many companies are releasing festive desserts. This Halloween-themed cake comes with an extra-special surprise hidden inside.

The new 'Pinata Pumpkin Patch Cake' is an ice cream cake molded into the shape of a jack-o-lantern. The dessert is made up of a vanilla base that is topped with vanilla ice cream. The exterior is then coated with orange cream to mimic the look of a jack-o-lantern. The inside of the cake features a candy-filled center that spills out when the cake is cut. For those looking for an extra special treat, the cake is also available in the 'Seasonal Pumpkin Pie' flavor or the 'Trick Oreo Treat' flavor.

The pumpkin-shaped cake provides a unique way to celebrate the spookiest day of the year.
