Step 1: Bake the Cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). Prepare 500g of FunCakes Cupcakes Mix according to the instructions on the packaging. Grease the cake pan with baking spray and bake the cake for about 55-65 minutes. Allow the cake to cool using a cooling rack.

Step 2: Make the Buttercream

Prepare 125g of FunCakes Buttercream Mix according to the instructions on the packaging. Flavor the buttercream with FunCakes Cherry Flavor Paste.

Step 3: Create the Faces

Melt some black FunCakes Deco Melts in the microwave according to the instructions on the packaging and put it in a piping bag. Fill the eyes, nose, and mouth of the mold with black Deco Melts and let it set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Pumpkin Shells

Melt the other colored Deco Melts separately in the microwave according to the instructions on the packaging and brush a layer inside the mold using a brush. Let this set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Repeat this once more and, if needed, a third time for a sturdy shell.

Step 5: Create the Pumpkin Heads

Put some cherry-flavored buttercream in a piping bag and cut a small tip. Slice the cake and cut them to fit the mold. Place a slice of cake in the mold and pipe a layer of buttercream on top. Be careful not to let it exceed the edge. Put this in the refrigerator for half an hour for the buttercream to set.

Next, top the top with melted Deco Melts and smooth it with a spatula. Let this set in the refrigerator as well. Carefully press it out of the mold afterward. Repeat all these steps with all colors of Deco Melts.

Step 6: Decorate the Pumpkin Heads

Mix all colors of nonpareils in a bowl. Melt some black Deco Melts according to the instructions on the packaging and brush it along the sides, immediately rolling it in the nonpareils. Then, place them in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy these delicious Pumpkin Heads!
