Halloween Pumpkin(shaped) Cake

Halloween Pumpkin shaped Cake

This is acutally more a method than a recipe, but given the recent requests 
for Halloween goodies I thought it might be of interest:

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!
