I'm not sure what went wrong, but this cake didn't turn out right. It was dense and heavy, and the glaze was too runny.

This cake was a total disaster. It was dry and crumbly, and the glaze was way too thick.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but this cake was surprisingly good. The orange glaze really helped to balance out the sweetness of the cake.

I've made this cake twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The orange glaze is a must - it really takes the cake to the next level.

This pumpkin cake with orange glaze was a hit! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
