Halloween Pumpkin-Shaped Cake
Twice the batter for any cake recipe
(or 2 packages of cake mix, prepared)
Twice any white frosting recipe
(or 2 cans white frosting)
Food coloring
1 Hostess Ho-HoŽ
(or similar cake-roll snack item)
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans and cool completely.
Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 cup,
which should be colored black (or use dark chocolate fudge frosting).
Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on a
cake plate; frost the top only. Place the second bundt cake flat-
side down on top of first cake. Frost the entire cake with orange
frosting, making up and down motions with spatula to simulate a
pumpkin.
Insert the Ho-HoŽ in the middle of the top of the bundt cake to make
the stem. Use black frosting to make eyes, nose, mouth, etc. (Or use
candies, gum drops, jelly beans, black rope licorice -- be
creative!)
