Recipe Introduction


You need to use your imagination or find a good picture of a pumpkin for this one. It's made using a cake mix, but it's even better if you use one of your own homemade cakes.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pkg. Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix, any flavor
  
• (of course I use cake mixes -- and when I do, it's Duncan Hines)
  
• 2 16-oz. containers Duncan Hines Vanilla Frosting
  
• Green, Red and Yellow Food Coloring
  
• 1 flat-bottom Ice Cream Cone
  
• Toasted Coconut
  
• Green-tinted Coconut
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 375ºF. and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
   
2. Prepare, bake and cool cake following directions for original recipe.
   
3. Measure 1/4 cup vanilla frosting into a small bowl. Tint with green food coloring. Place ice cream cone upside down on waxed paper. Frost with green frosting, then use a toothpick or fork to add vertical lines to the sides of the cone. Refrigerate.
   
4. Tint remaining vanilla frosting with red and yellow food coloring until frosting is the desired orange color. Measure 3 Tbsp. orange frosting in small bowl; add green food coloring to make a brown frosting.
   
5. Frost cake with orange frosting. Make eyes, mouth and nose with brown frosting like you would carve on a pumpkin*. Place the green frosted ice cream cone in the center hole of the cake at a slight angle so it looks like a pumpkin stem.
   
6. Decorate serving plate with a mixture of toasted and green coconut.
   
7. *Make a little extra brown and you could really get creative, making cats, witches, tiny bats or whatever you desire.
