From the Kitchen of: Paz
Source: Kathy/MA from Recipe Chat
- Twice the batter for any cake recipe (or 2 boxes cake mix,
prepared).
- Twice 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 and cool completely.
- Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 cup,
which should be colored black (or you might 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-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.)
