  5. TO ASSEMBLE CAKE:
  6. Remove 1/2 cup of the frosting; place in small bowl. Add green food coloring; stir until well blended. Spread half of the green frosting onto outside of ice cream cone; set aside. Cover and reserve remaining green frosting for later use.
  7. Add red and yellow food colorings to remaining white frosting to tint it orange (for Halloween I made it real bright orange, for thanksgiving I made a little bit more of a muted orange tone). Spread onto cake to resemble pumpkin. Invert ice cream cone in hole in top of cake for the pumpkin's stem. Pipe the reserved green frosting in vertical lines down side of cake.
