Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix in the pumpkin puree. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and orange food coloring until smooth. Spread the glaze over the cooled cake.

Use the black decorating gel to draw a jack-o'-lantern face on the cake. Place a candy corn in the center for the pumpkin's stem.
-
Allow the glaze to set for at least 2 hours before serving.
