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 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!
