Halloween Pumpkin Cake
2 packages Bundt cake mix, vanilla or lemon flavor
4 tubs prepared vanilla frosting
1 package red food coloring
1 package yellow food coloring
Several packages gum drops, M&Ms, assorted candies
Flowers and more Halloween candies for decoration
Prepare both cake mixes, according to directions on box. Pour batter
into two standard-sized Bundt cake pans and bake according to
package directions. Let cool completely. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whip frosting until light and fluffy, using an
electric mixer. Use the two food colorings to dye frosting deep
orange color.
Assembly: Place one Bundt cake, round part down, on a serving
platter. Place the second Bundt cake, flat side down, on top of the
first cake to resemble a pumpkin shape. Using a cake spatula, spread
the orange frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
Then, using your favorite candies, design the eyes, nose and mouth
of the pumpkin. Garnish with flowers and candies. |
