How to make Pumpkin Patch Cake

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix any size, plus the ingredients from the back of the box (water, oil, eggs)
  • 1 3.4 oz box of chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 25 Oreo cookies
  • 8-10 mellowcreme pumpkin candies
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green gel food color

Instructions
 

  • Bake the cake, according to package directions, in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely, and use a straw to poke holes throughout the cake.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chocolate pudding mix and milk.
  • Quickly pour this over the cake before the pudding begins to set so that it will fill the holes poked in the cake.
  • Next, blitz the Oreo cookies to crumbs in a food processor.
  • Sprinkle those over the pudding topped cake.
  • Move this to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
  • For the frosting, in a medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter and powdered sugar, slowly adding the vanilla, green gel color, and splashes of milk, until frosting forms.
  • Add the frosting to a piping bag and snip off the very tip.
  • Use the frosting to decorate the cake with pumpkin "vines."
  • Place your pumpkin candies on top.
  • Enjoy!
