Trick-or-Treat

I made this cake in record time for an event at school. It was the prize for the best decorated trunk at the school trunk-or-treat.


This is just a 2 layer 8" round cake. I dyed the white cake a nice orange. I baked this cake and froze it, knowing time would be limited the day of. That day I made the frosting, frosted the cake, made fondant and rice crispy treats for the trick-or-treater. It was crazy! I had to use my time extremely wisely, in between waiting for things to cool I was making frosting for 50 cupcakes I was also providing for the event. I'm really pleased with how this came out. AND, I was able to do it all in time to show up to the event early. WHEW!
(Did I mention I had to finish my costume and bake all the cupcakes earlier that day? It's not often that so many things are pulled off smoothly in so little time)
