Cut a small 3 inch section off one of the rounds - this will be your bottom - use ganache to stick it to a little 3 inch cake round. Stick all the layers together with Ganache - it's delicious and is a great "glue" for cake decorating. Then I carved vertical lines all around the cake from the center of the top down to the bottom. They don't have to be perfectly spaced, but I tried to make them mostly even Since the Mickey head is. Then Add the ganache frosting and make sure to get all the deep cracks and keep it smooth. A small tapered frosting spatula works great for these deep crevices. Once the Ganache sets (it won't take long if your cake layers are frozen) mark out where you want the Mickey Face to be. I eyeballed it from a picture of the actual jack o lantern, but if you have access to a printer you can always print it out and use it as a guide. By using a toothpick to mark out the face it's easy to rub it out and start over if you make a mistake. Cut about an 1/2 inch deep, covering the new raw edges with more ganache (tapered spatula again). Roll out some bright yellow fondant and ease it into the face! Make sure to cover the sides too. This is how we're getting our glowing jack o lantern look. Now cover the cake with Orange fondant smoothing it all around and down into the cracks. Now, using a small, very sharp, knife, carefully cut out the face shapes again. I wanted it took have an orange outside and yellow inside so it looked more like a rind. Take a small batch of rice krispie treats and divide it - shape both halves into balls, and then created lines and made them into pumpkin shapes. Try to keep them as even as possible. Frost them with the ganache to smooth out the rough rice crispy edges. Then I covered them with the same orange fondant and smoothed it around and into the cracks. To stick the ears onto the cake I used long bamboo skewers. I first held the ears in place then jabbed the skewers into the ears, through the head and into the cardboard base to really hold it. I used 2 skewers in each just for safety. Then with Green Fondant add a stubby stem with leaves and some curls (fondant dried around a dowel). This will cover up the holes the skewers made too. I also dimpled the top of the stem with some toothpicks so it looked more like a rough stem end of a pumpkin! Now add a large stem, more curls and a huge leaf on top! I rolled up a paper towel and stuck it between the pumpkin and leaf and let it dry a few hours then took out the paper towel!!
