an awesome cake. I did my own version with regular frosting tinted with orange, and did the cone in the center.
It was consumed completely!

My husband saw the article in a magazine - wondered if I could make it for Halloween. I went on line - found the recipe and gave it a whirl. It was easy to make and looked really good when I finished. He took it to work - everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for the great tasting and looking recipe.

I can't wait to make this cake! I am making it for a Halloween party my 8yr. old daughter is going to ! She saw the picture and asked me if I would make it! I am going to substitute the spice mix, and just make a chocolate cake instead! Hopefully they will like it!

My 7 and 9 year old girls had a ball baking this with me. Great idea for the stem!
