Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 boxes Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food or white cake mix
Water -- vegetable oil and eggs or egg whites called for on cake mix box
2 containers Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting -- (1 lb each)
Yellow and red food color
1 green flat-bottom ice-cream cone
Betty Crocker® Fruit Roll-Ups® chewy fruit snack rolls (any flavor)

Heat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour 2-quart round casserole or 2

1/2-quart ovenproof bowl. Make 1 box cake mix as directed on box, using

water, oil and eggs or egg whites. Pour batter into casserole.
Bake devil's food cake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, white

cake about 1 hour 10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center

comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Remove cake from casserole; place

rounded side up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about1 hour. Make and

bake remaining cake mix using same casserole or bowl.
With sharp knife, carefully slice piece from topof each cake to make

flat surface where cakes will be placed together to form pumpkin shape.

(Cake scraps can be saved and added to another recipe such as pudding

or trifle if desired.)
In medium bowl, place frosting; tint with 9 drops yellow and 6 drops

red food color to make orange frosting. On plate, place 1 cake, rounded

side down. Spread 2/3 cup of the orange frosting over cake almost to

edge. Place second cake, rounded side up, on frosted cake to make round

shape. Frost entire cake 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. Store tightly covered at

room temperature.

Do-Ahead Tip

You may want to bake the cake a day ahead so there’s not a long wait

and those involved in the decorating
are at their creative best.
Substitution
Just for fun, replace your usual entry in the pumpkin-carving contest

with this tempting dessert.
