Elevate a cake mix with creative additions for a wickedly delicious treat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1/3 cup Betty Crocker™ Autumn Sprinkles decorating decors
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • 1/8 teaspoon plus 8 drops green food color
  • 1 waffle cone
  • Betty Crocker™ Easy Flow black decorating icing (from 6.4-oz can)
  • Assorted large gumdrops
  • 2 pieces candy corn
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan) and lightly grease the bottom of a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Prepare cake batter according to package instructions, then gently fold in colorful candy sprinkles. Transfer the batter into the pan.
  • Follow the baking instructions on the box for a 13x9-inch pan. Allow to cool completely for approximately 1 hour.
  • Combine frosting and 1/8 teaspoon of green food color in a small bowl until fully mixed. Spread the colored frosting over the cake. Next, place a waffle cone at an angle into the top center of the cake, ensuring the rounded edge is level with the cake surface. The tip of the cone should be raised about 2 inches above the top edge of the cake pan to create the witch’s hat effect.
  • Using a toothpick, create a 5-inch long oval outline of a witch's face directly below the "hat". Quickly add 8 drops of green food color randomly over the surface of the frosting, being careful to avoid the witch's face, and then swirl the colors together using a knife.
  • Frost the "witch's hat" with black icing using a ribbon tip, create a "brim" around the base of the hat, and frost small areas below her face to resemble a cape.
  • Shape gumdrops as desired for facial features and accessories like eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, hat buckle, and cape button. Cut candy corn into smaller pieces for teeth. Use a drawing tip to add black icing for the witch's hair. Store covered loosely.
