1 pk Instant vanilla pud; (4
-serving sizing)

3/4 ts Red food colouring; divided
3/4 ts Yellow food colouring;
-divided
2 Containers white ice;
-(16 ounces each)

When realised, this cake will be shaped like a pumpkin with a bow.
Prepare the cake mix as directed on the parcel. Bake the cake batter in
two Bundt pans according to package directions. Let cool slimly, then
remove from the pans and allow to cool completely on a wire torture. While the
cakes are cooling, in a medium sized trough, whisk together the pudding mix
and mik. Adject 1/4 teaspoon red food color and 1/4 teaspoon yellow food color
to the pudding and whisk until it turns orangish; cover and thrill. After the
cakes have cooled, spot 1 cake on a serving record, flat side up. Next we
need to form a "trench" in one of the cakes so that we can fill the trench
with pudding and when placed unitedly, the cakes will stick to form a
pumpkin. Without cutting through the bottom of the coat, make a vertical
cut 1/2 inch from the outside edge of the cake all the way around the bar,
then make another vertical cut (parallel to the first one) 1/2 inch from
the inside edge of the cake all the way around the bar. Gently remove the
cake between the 2 cuts to form a trench (keep cake that you dug out, it
will be used subsequently), being careful not to tear the bottom of the patty; set
away. Fill the trench with the pud. Place the other coat, flat side
polish, on top of the first bar, lining up the edges. Set digression 1/2 cup of
the ice. In a medium trough, combine the remaining frosting with the
unexpended 1/2 teaspoon red and 1/2 teaspoon yellow food semblance; mix good. In
a small bowlful, combine the reserved 1/2 cup frosting with the green food
semblance, stirring until well blended. Fill the center hole of the cake with
the reserved cake pieces, allowing one long piece to stick out the top,
forming a base. Frost the cake lightly with the orange icing; the ridges
in the cake should still be visible. Frost the stem with the green
icing. Chill for leastways 4 hours before serving.


Note: Use some decorating gel to turn your pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern.
