3. Using the #16 piping tip and the brown frosting, pipe a scallop edge around the mini cake for the crust.
4. Next, use the #32 piping tip and the white frosting, pipe a small star of white buttercream in the middle of the cake bite.
5. Sprinkle with a dash of the pumpkin pie spice.
6. For the "cherry pie" bites, frost the top of five Pound Cake Mini Cake Bites with red frosting. For a cherry taste, add a very small amount to the red frosting first, and then frost the top of the cake bites.
7. Sprinkle a few of the red sugar pearls on top.
8. Next, use the #3 piping tip with brown frosting, and pipe a grid line pattern across the top of the cake bites.
9. Next, use the #16 piping tip and brown frosting, pipe a scallop edge around the cake bite for the crust.
10. For the "apple pie" bites, finely chop the apple pie filling and place a dollop on top of the five remaining cake bites.
11. Using the #5 piping tip and brown frosting, pipe a grid line pattern on top of the cake bites.
12. Next, use the #10 piping tip and brown frosting, pipe an edge around the cake bite for the crust.
13. Then take a toothpick or butterknife and make small lines around the crust to make it look like crimped edges of the pie.
14. Lastly, using the #5 piping tip and white frosting, add a dollop of the buttercream frosting to the middle.
