Step 1: Cake Mix
Preheat the oven at 350 degrees,
Mix your Halloween flour mix and ingredients into a bowl , stir with a spoon or a fork that aerates the mix better, and make sure you used cold water it makes the cake itself fluffier.
. Now remember your using 2 of these molds so you'll have to do the same for each before you Stick them in the oven for roughly 30-35 minutes, ( ovens vary in temperature)
NOTE: to make sure your cake is ready, insert a toothpick in the cake itself and make sure it comes out clean , if it doesn't give it 5 more minutes and try it again.
Cool the cakes for about half hour on a cooling rack.

Step 2: Find the Pumpkin Shape
Now that your 2 bundt cakes are cooled , begin by removing the sides( excess) super carefully all around.
After you've done this ,your gonna even out one of the cakes by removing the top layer with a very sharp kitchen knife.
Then Start frosting the even part w frosting , this can be anything you like really it's basically to "glue" the two cakes together and yes to have a little treat In between all that awesome cake.
Now stack them up, now you see it's pumpkin shape begin to take place

Step 3: Pre Prep
Now start frosting the whole cake, it doesn't matter how it looks, this is basically called a "Crumb coat", it basically secures all the crumbs and help you get an even awesome coat at the end , make sure get all the spots and when your done freeze the cake for 30 minutes ( this will help with your frosting)
