• 1 package Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 5 drop Orange food coloring
• 3 drop Green food coloring
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.

7. Divide the cream cheese mixture into two bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other. Mix until the desired colors are achieved.
8. Once the cake is completely cooled, frost the top with the orange cream cheese frosting to resemble a pumpkin.
9. Use the green cream cheese frosting to pipe a stem on top of the pumpkin.

11. Allow the frosting to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
