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

Prepare two cakes in bundt pans, cool completely. Color most of the
frosting a deep orange, reserving about One half 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 flatside down on top of
first cake. Frost entire cake with orange frosting, making up and down
motions with spatula to simulate pumpkin.

Insert HoHo 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!
