Ingredients

1 box (18.5 oz) cake mix, any flavor

Flames: 2 rolls each red and yellow Fruit Roll-Ups

Toes: 3 each sliced almonds and marshmallow circus peanuts

1 can (12 oz) whipped vanilla frosting

Fire logs and twigs: about 10 pretzel rods and 40 pretzel sticks

11⁄2 cans (16 oz each) chocolate frosting

Green and yellow liquid food color

11⁄2 cups mini marshmallows

Potion ingredients: large gummy snake, gummy teeth, gummy worms and gummy frogs

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 2-in. round cake pan and a 6-cup bundt pan. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.

Prepare cake mix as package directs. Fill 8-in. cake pan with 21⁄2 cups batter; spread remaining batter in bundt pan.

Bake both cakes on middle rack, 25 minutes for 8-in. pan, 30 to 35 minutes for bundt pan or until a wooden pick inserted in centers of cakes comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 15 minutes before inverting cakes on racks to cool completely. Freeze 8-in. cake 2 hours.

Trim humps off both cakes with a long serrated knife until flat. Cut a 5-in.-diameter round from middle of frozen cake layer (you’ll have a ring of cake); brush off crumbs. Save middle.

Flames: Unroll each Roll-Up and fold in half. Using scissors, cut out long, narrow, triangles. Place on baking sheet.

Toes: Attach an almond to top end of each circus peanut with a dab of vanilla frosting. Add to baking sheet.

Logs and twigs: Place rods on a serving platter in a circle, breaking some to fit. Place pretzel sticks between rods.

To assemble: Place bundt cake, rounded side up, on a sheet of wax paper; press saved cake in hole in center. Spread chocolate frosting over rounded part of bundt cake. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Place bundt cake flat side up on top of logs. Frost sides and top of bundt cake. Set ring cake on bundt cake. Spread top and sides with chocolate frosting, swirling frosting.

Attach flames, alternating red and yellow, to sides of cauldron with some bending over the logs.

Scrape vanilla frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in green and yellow food color until blended and lime green. Microwave on high about 15 seconds or just until thin enough to pour (don’t overheat). Add marshmallows; stir until coated.

Curl snake in cauldron with head hanging out. Spoon in marshmallows, adding toes, teeth and worms and letting some marshmallows spill out on the edges. Scatter frogs around logs.

Tip: Wrapped cakes can be frozen up to 1 month. Flames and toes may be made up to 3 days ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature.

I've made this cake the past three Halloweens. It's a huge hit! Kids of all ages love the variety of candy and the look of the cake. It's time-consuming but so worth it when you hear the excitement as you bring it out.
