Updated Aug 15, 2013

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms and sides of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 2
    Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 8-inch rounds, using water, oil and eggs. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For easier handling, refrigerate or freeze cakes 30 minutes to 1 hour or until firm.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, mix 2 containers frosting and orange food color. On serving plate, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down. Spread with 1 cup of the orange frosting. Top with second cake layer, rounded side up. Spread thin layer of orange frosting over cake to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 4
    Frost top and side of cake with orange frosting, using back of spoon to create texture.
  • 5
    Spread large circle of vanilla frosting for eyeball. Unroll 1 fruit snack; cut out small circle for eye and teeth for mouth. Place circle in center of eye. Top with gumdrop. Spread vanilla frosting for mouth; add fruit roll-up for teeth. Outline each with black licorice; add eye lashes.
  • 6
    Unroll remaining fruit snack; wrap around ice cream cone. Insert skewers at top of cake; attach cones to look like horns.
