Yet another pinterest project, but I just couldn't resist!! It's the cutest Halloween decoration and hello its EDIBLE and delicious! Plus its just fun to do something a little different with such a staple at my house. Yes, cake is a staple, I bake for every occasion!! This may look a bit intimidating but I assure you this is a SUCH an easy project, and if I would have had some foresight (which I of course will share with you) then it would have turned out even cuter! This will take about 4 hours to complete so I recommend starting early, since each cake will have to bake about 1 hour each, plus cooling time, & frosting time.
Ingredients:
2 boxes of cake mix - I suggest pumpkin, spice, carrot, or any other fall inspired flavor
correlating ingredients for your respective mix (i.e. eggs, water, butter, oil, milk, etc.)
Bundt pan
3 cans of orange icing, or can use white icing and red & yellow food coloring to make orange
1 can chocolate icing
Green decorative icing
Flat bottomed ice cream cones (green or brown desired), kit kats, or stem-making item (get creative!)
Begin by baking both cakes according to package directions in a greased Bundt pan, and let cakes cool thoroughly before icing. If you have read my prior posts you know I like to put my own twist on box cake mixes, the Rule is: substitute milk instead of water, add an egg, and substitute butter for oil and double the amount.
Place one cake round side down on plate and spread a layer of orange icing over the flat surfacec before placing the other cake round side up on top.
Dirty ice cake with a thin layer of orange icing and refrigerate 30 min to set icing. Frost cake with remainder of frosting finishing with vertical strokes with a flat piping bag attachment.
To make stem, frost ice cream cone with chocolate icing if you could not find a green or brown one. Place ice cream cone in center of cake. Frost leaves and vine with green icing with a small round piping bag attachment. I did not have any ice cream cones since I made this cake partially on a whim so I stuck a plastic cup down the center of my cake and tied about 8 Kit Kats together with a green ribbon and set them on top of the cup in the middle of the cake.
To create the face, place chocolate icing in piping bag or ziplock bag with hole cut in the tip and draw on a pumpkin or jack-o-lantern face with a small round attachment. Accent with candies if desired.
