PREPARE cake batter and bake in 12-cup fluted tube pan as directed on package. Cool in pan 10 min. Invert cake onto wire rack; remove pan. Cool cake completely.

MEANWHILE, beat cream cheese and butter in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended after each addition. Remove 1/2 cup of the frosting; place in small bowl. Add green food colouring; stir until well blended. Spread half of the green frosting onto outside of ice cream cone; set aside. Reserve remaining green frosting for later use.

Fun Idea

Place black gumdrops on sheet of waxed paper sprinkled with additional sugar. Use a rolling pin to thinly flatten each gumdrop, turning frequently to coat both sides with sugar. Cut into desired shapes with a sharp knife. Use to decorate frosted cake to resemble a jack-o'-lantern.

" I used this idea for my daughter's Halloween themed 1st birthday party 5 years ago. I've since, been doing cakes for both of my daughters on their birthdays and now, 5 years later, I've moved on to wedding cakes! It's a very good (and simple) idea for someone who hasn't done much in the way of cake decorating. Though if you're into decorating cakes, don't feel it's too simple for you. There are lots of ways you can spruce it up to your level of decroating if you want to take the extra time. "
