October is here and Halloween is on the way! This means that I get to make some fun and exciting creations in the kitchen. After trying to figure out what to make for my first Halloween treat of the season, I decided on a pumpkin cake. This was not just any pumpkin cake, but a pumpkin cake with a creative design on the inside.
Ingredients:
- 2 boxes white cake mix (plus ingredients called for on box)
- Orange, green and black food coloring
- Fondant - Orange, black and green
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 pinches of flour
- frosting
Tools:
- Bundt cake pan
- cutting tool or butter knife for fondant
- cake leveler
Directions:
- Start by preparing 1 box of cake mix according to the instructions.
- Divide into 3 separate bowls.
- Add food coloring to each bowl.
- Prepare a bundt cake pan by lining it with butter and then a small amount of flour.
- spoon batter into bundt cake pan in a random pattern until all batter is used
- bake in oven at 350 for 39-43 minutes
- allow to cool completely and repeat steps 1-6 with second box of cake mix.
- Using a cake leveler, shave off the top of each cake so that the cakes will join in the middle.
- Apply frosting to one of the cakes and position the other cake on top of the bottom cake and press firmly.
- Place in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes for frosting to firm up.
- Remove cake from refrigerator and frost the remainder of the cake.
- Cover the cake completely with orange fondant and cut off excess.
- cut out 2 small triangles and a creative pumpkin mouth shape out of black fondant.
- rub a small amount of water on the back of the black fondant cutouts and press firmly on the orange fondant covering the cake.
- shape green fondant to look like a pumpkin stem and add a little water and place on top of orange cake.
That’s it! Now just serve up the festive goodness.
