To Design the Frosting Pumpkin

  • Add orange food coloring to the decorating icing and mix until blended and desired color is achieved.

  • Draw pumpkin shape onto parchment paper. Cut around the pumpkin shape and place it onto the center of a large serving board.

  • Smooth the frosting surface using an offset spatula. Touch up the shape of the pumpkin if needed.

  • Fill in with rest of open white space with mini Pop Tarts, mini cupcakes and brownies.
