Halloween Pumpkin-Shaped
Cake ::Ingredients :: Twice the batter for any cake recipe (or 2 packages of cake mix, prepared) Twice any white frosting recipe (or 2 cans white frosting) Food coloring 1 Hostess Ho-Ho (or similar cake-roll snack item)  |  :: Directions:: Prepare two cakes in bundt pans and cool completely. Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 cup, which should be colored black (or use dark chocolate fudge frosting). Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on a cake plate; frost the top only. Place the second bundt cake flat-side down on top of first cake. Frost the entire cake with orange frosting, making up and down motions with spatula to simulate a pumpkin. Insert the 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. (Or use candies, gum drops, jelly beans, black rope licorice -- be creative!) |
| Halloween Spider Cake
When cake is cut, it spurts green goop. ~ BATTER ~ 18 1/4 oz box white cake mix 4-serving package green gelatin ~ BLACK FROSTING ~ Blue food coloring Chocolate frosting ~ DECORATIONS ~ 4 black licorice whips 2 big green gumballs 6 little gumballs | Prepare cake using two 9-inch round cake pans. Cool. Prepare the gelatin according to package directions. It works best if it is just a little on the soft side. On a foil-covered cookie-sheet, place one cake layer for the body. Cut a smaller circle out of the center of the layer. Place this smaller round of cake as the spider's head. Fill the hole left in the body layer with gelatin. Place the other cake layer on top of the body and trim cake slightly to shape, if desired. To prepare frosting, in a mixing bowl, add blue food coloring to the chocolate frosting until black in color. Frost the entire cake black. Cut the black licorice whips in half and insert for the eight legs. Position the gumballs as eyes. |
