Funny Homemade Halloween Pumpkin Cake

I used a round bowl to bake my chocolate cake in. That way it lays flat on the plate and is rounded on top. You will probably have to trim some cake off the top of the cake so it lays flat. I cut it in half and put in some raspberry jelly. If you wanna add something in the middle, it’s easier to do it before you make the two grooves to give the cake the pumpkin look.

You can use a paring knife or any pastry tool you have to make the grooves, just don’t go too deep, just enough so the fondant goes in a little. I used Wilton’s icing colors which is a concentrated gel to dye my fondant orange. The eyes, nose and lips and teeth are all fondant.

The stem on top is gumpaste. I dyed it brown then airbrushed it for more depth. It’s only the second time I used fondant so don’t be nervous. I get stressed out myself and just tell myself it’s only a cake. Because the cake is relatively flat I just put on the eyes, nose, lips without any type of glue or frosting to help it stick.

Hope you enjoy making your Halloween Pumpkin Cake.
