Recipe
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 2-quart round casserole or 2 1/2-quart ovenproof bowl. Make 1 package cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs or egg whites. Pour batter into casserole. Bake devil's food cake 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, white cake about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Remove cake from casserole; place rounded side up on wire rack. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining cake mix.
Empty frosting into medium bowl; tint with 9 drops yellow and 6 drops red food color to make orange frosting. Place 1 cake, rounded side down, on plate. Spread with 2/3 cup of the orange frosting almost to edge. Place second cake, rounded side up, on frosted cake to make round shape. Frost with remaining orange frosting.
Trim ice-cream cone to desired height for stem; place upside down on cake. Cut out eyes, nose, mouth, vines and leaves from fruit snack rolls. Place on frosted cake to form face.
