   • Begin by preparing the pecans. You can either stir them into the cream cheese frosting for a deliciously nutty texture throughout, or reserve them to sprinkle on top of the cake as a decorative flourish.

2. Mix the Frosting:

   • If you choose to incorporate the pecans into the frosting, gently stir them into the cream cheese frosting until evenly distributed. This will infuse the frosting with a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the cake.

3. Spread the Frosting:

   • Once your frosting is ready, it’s time to adorn your cake! With a spatula or icing knife, spread the frosting generously on the sides, top, and in between the layers of your Hummingbird Cake. Ensure an even distribution for a beautifully finished presentation.

4. Decorate with Pecans:

   • If you’ve reserved some pecans for garnishing, sprinkle them over the top of the cake once the frosting is applied. This adds a lovely aesthetic touch and hints at the delicious flavors within.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Now that your Hummingbird Cake is adorned with this delectable frosting, it’s ready to be served and enjoyed! Slice into portions and savor the combination of moist cake, creamy frosting, and crunchy pecans.
