2 boxes (18 oz each) devil's food cake mix
White frosting (enough for 2 cakes)
Orange and green food coloring
3 pieces candy corn
1 piece black licorice

Prepare cake mixes according to package directions. Except make the cakes in 2 (12-cup) Bundt Pans with ridges (to resemble a pumpkin). Also, take enough batter to make one cupcake to use as stem.*

Unmold cooled cakes and place them bottom to bottom.

Set the cakes on a large platter and frost them with the white frosting that has been tinted orange.

Frost cupcake with white frosting tinted green. There will be a hole in the middle of the cake. Fill with leftover frosting and set green cupcake on top (pumpkin stem). Place candy corn where eyes and nose should be. Then, place licorice where mouth should be.

*Cupcake can be substituted with a ice cream cone covered with green frosting.
