Meanwhile, tint ½ cup of frosting with green food coloring, spoon into a resealable plastic bag, and set aside.
Tint remaining frosting with bright orange food coloring.
Spoon ¼ cup orange frosting into resealable plastic bag and set aside.
Stack 2 cakes together (bottom to bottom) resembling a pumpkin shape.
If necessary, trim bottoms so they are flat.
Place stacked cakes on wire rack set over sheet pan.
Heat the orange frosting in the microwave for about 1 minute until it’s thin enough to be poured, stirring well every 10 seconds.
Pour frosting evenly over cakes, covering completely. You can use a small knife or spatula to cover cover the sides with frosting.
Scrape up excess frosting and remember to reheat and reuse if needed.
