Ingredients:

• 2 bundt cake mixes (or homemade equivalent)
• 1 1/2 batches of your favorite buttercream frosting
• Orange food coloring (if making frosting from scratch)
• Black food coloring (optional, for decoration)
• 1 empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll
• Foil or wax paper
• Green crepe paper or fake leaf garland
• Candy corn (for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bundt Cakes:

   • Follow the instructions on your bundt cake mix or prepare homemade batter.
   • Bake two bundt cakes using either one bundt pan twice or two separate bundt cake pans according to the box instructions.
   • Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.

2. Assemble the Cake:

   • Place one bundt cake upside down on a serving plate.
   • Frost the top of this cake and place the second bundt cake on top, right side up, to create the shape of a pumpkin.

3. Frosting:

   • Prepare your favorite buttercream frosting. If desired, tint the frosting orange using food coloring.
   • Frost the entire cake generously, ensuring it is evenly covered with the orange frosting.

4. Create the Stem:

   • Wrap an empty toilet paper roll or cut paper towel roll in foil or wax paper to create the stem of the pumpkin.
   • Insert the covered roll into the hole on top of the cake to resemble the pumpkin’s stem.

5. Add Decorative Touches:

   • Cut several strips from green crepe paper or use fake leaf garland to create vines.
   • Insert the strips into the hole on top of the cake to mimic vines cascading from the pumpkin.
   • Alternatively, use green frosting to pipe vines and leaves around the stem of the cake.
   • For an extra spooky touch, consider using black tinted icing to add eyes, a nose, and a mouth to the pumpkin’s face.

6. Final Decoration:

   • Arrange candy corn around the base of the cake, alternating the direction of each piece for a festive look.
   • Get creative with your decorations, arranging candy and other edible embellishments to your liking.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once decorated to your satisfaction, proudly display your Jack ‘O Lantern Cake as the centerpiece of your fall celebration.
   • Slice and serve this deliciously spooky dessert to your guests, and watch as it disappears in no time!
