How To Make A JACK-O-LANTERN Halloween Candy Pail Out Of CAKE



To make my Jack-O-Lantern candy pail cake, I filled 12lbs of my rich Ultimate Chocolate Cake with Orange Italian Meringue Buttercream and covered the entire cake in Orange fondant. I even decorated him to look exactly like those candy pails you can buy at the dollar store - complete with a spooky Jack-O-Lantern face, and piled to the brim with my FAVE Halloween candies!
