The pecan pie was my favorite layer. I loved that it had a classic pie crust on the bottom (you can’t have pie without the crust!), the filling was a knockout, and the pecans gave everything a great crunch. 

The pumpkin pie layer was beautifully creamy and had a nice, subtle spice. Like the pecan layer, it had its own deliciously flaky crust, and all the flavors paired well with the cinnamon buttercream frosting. 

It was the spice cake that surprised me most. Just by looking at it, I expected the cake to taste quite dense — almost like a pound cake — but it was actually light as air. Its fluffy texture was a great companion for the heavy apple pie filling on top.
