Halloween Pumpkin-Shaped Cake

Twice the batter for any cake recipe (or 2 packages of cake mix, prepared)Twice any white frosting recipe (or 2 cans white frosting)Food coloring1 Hostess Ho-Ho® (or similar cake-roll snack item)
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans and cool completely.Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 cup, which should be colored black (or use dark chocolate fudge frosting).Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on a cake plate; frost the top only. Place the second bundt cake flat-side down on top of first cake. Frost the entire cake with orange frosting, making up and down motions with spatula to simulate a pumpkin.Insert the Ho-Ho® in the middle of the top of the bundt cake to make the stem. Use black frosting to make eyes, nose, mouth, etc. (Or use candies, gum drops, jelly beans, black rope licorice -- be creative!)

Witches Hats

You will need Keebler® fudge striped cookies, Hershey® Kisses and a tube of orange decorator icing. Turn cookies upside down so that the chocolate side is up. Use the orange decorator icing to pipe around the hole in the center of each cooke. Place an unwrapped Kiss on the icing circle. Finish by piping around the base of the kiss and drawing a little bow.

Ghost Hand Punch

Buy some new latex gloves. Wash one out and fill with water. Fasten the arm closed with a twist-tie or rubberband. Freeze it. Float it in the punch before serving.
