Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray two 6-inch bundt cake pans with baking spray.
Place sugar, brown sugar, oil & pumpkin puree in a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix to combine. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg & cloves. Sift or whisk to combine.

Pour the batter evenly between the two bundt pans, they should be about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes, until golden and cake springs back when lightly touched.
Glaze Topping
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp corn syrup
2-4 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl & whisk until mixture is silky & smooth. You want it to be slightly thick but thin enough to drip down the sides of your cake.
Place the glaze into a piping bag & pipe the glaze onto your cake, staring at the top to make large drips down the sides of the cake.
Garnish
For the stem & leaf: You can either make these out of fondant or just use a faux wooden stem & leaf, which can be found at any craft store. Happy Baking!
