This is actually more a method than a recipe, but given the recent
requests for Halloween goodies I thought it might be of interest. I
originally saw this in Parents Magazine about two years ago. It has
been a favorite for our family celebrations since then!
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans, cool completely. Color most of the
frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 c , 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.
