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.
