Baking Time: Since you are making smaller cakes, the baking time may need to be adjusted. Keep an eye on the cakes while they are baking and use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness.
Frosting and Buttercream: The quantities for the cream cheese frosting and buttercream have been adjusted accordingly. However, please note that the consistency and coverage may differ slightly from the original recipe due to the downsizing.
Food Coloring: The amount of food coloring provided (3¼ drops) may be difficult to measure precisely. Use it as a guideline and adjust the amount based on the desired color and the intensity of the food coloring you have.
Remember to follow the instructions for mixing and baking the cakes carefully. It's always a good idea to conduct a trial run or make adjustments as needed based on your personal taste preferences. Enjoy your downsized pumpkin cakes!

The only thing I might boost is the baking powder and baking soda, to 3/8 tsp or 1/2 tsp each (worry that the 1/4 tsp each might not provide enough rising power).
