Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on a cake plate; frost the top only. Place the second bundt cake flat-side down on top of first cake. Frost the entire cake with orange frosting, making up and down motions with spatula to simulate a pumpkin. Insert the Ho-Ho® in the middle of the top of the bundt cake to make the stem.

From: Sniffy45 Body Part Punch whatcha need:
rubber surgical gloves water whatcha do: Take a rubber glove and rinse
it very well, and turn it inside out and rinse the inside as well. Fill
it up with water about 3/4 of the way full, and either tie a not in the
glove itself or use a rubber band to secure it. Then just pop it in the
freezer. After preparing your punch*, run the "hand" under warm water just
long enough to loosen the glove and remove. plop it in the punch. Drop
on some red food coloring if you wanna get really gruesome Looks really
funky floating around! Do several so as they melt you can replace. Have
fun!!
