Tint frosting orange. Trim top of cakes level. Spread a little frosting on one cut side of cakes. Sandwich another cake layer on top. Cover cake or cakes with remaining frosting. Use an offset spatula to make frosting smooth. Starting at the base of the cake lightly drag spatula to the top of cake, to make ribs. Repeat overlapping lines, removing excess frosting. Use sugar cone or chocolate ice cream cone upside down to make stem. Enjoy!
