Halloween Pumpkin (shaped) Cake
2X the batter for any cake recipe or 2 boxes cake mix, prepared
2X any white frosting recipe or 2 cans white frosting
food coloring
1 Hostess Ho-Ho or similar cake-roll snack item
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans, cool completely
Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 cup,
which should be colored black (you may also use dark chocolate fudge
frosting)
Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on cake
plate; frost top only. Place second bundt cake flat-side down on top
of first cake. Frost entire cake with orange frosting, making up and
down motions with spatula to simulate pumpkin.
Insert Ho-Ho in the middle of the top of the bundt cake to make the
stem.
Use black frosting to make eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Black rope licorice
may also be used.
I originally saw this in Parents Magazine about two years ago. It has
been a favorite for our family celebrations since then!
