Just the name of these cream cheese pound cakes had us excited! The mini pound cake is dense and moist with a subtle sweet flavor. These delightful cakes are made all the more delicious by the addition of Susan's wonderful spiced pumpkin glaze that adds a bit of sweetness to this dessert. A holiday must.
