Pumpkin (Bundt) Cake

It looks like a pumpkin but is a frosted bundt cake! This treat is always a hit when you arrive at a friend's house for Fall festivities! You will need:

• a bundt cake (won't matter what flavor - pick your fav!)
• one cupcake (if you have baked you own bundt, just use small amount of batter for cupcake needed)
• white cake frosting
• orange food coloring
• Large green pre-made frosting tube (I like Betty Crocker)

1. Bake you bundt cake and single cupcake.
2. While cakes are cooling, blend orange food coloring into white frosting.
3. Once bundt cake cools, flip from bundt pan and frost cake with orange frosting.
4. Flip cupcake upside down and mount in center top of bundt cake. This will be the pumpkin stem. Frost with green frosting.
5. Everywhere the bundt cake "indents" frost green lines downward.
6. Around the stem of the "pumpkin" frost swirling green lines to mimic vines and add a leaf or two.

I also like to surround the bottom of the bundt cake with Brach's marshmallow pumpkin candies and make a "food flag" for the top that says, "It's the Great Pumpkin." Sometimes I include "Charlie Brown" on the sign too. I assure you will get some "congratulations" pats on your back for this simple, festive contribution!
