Method
- Arrange 12 double chocolate mini muffins on a tray.
- For the icing, beat the butter with an electric hand whisk. Spoon in the icing sugar, mixing until combined. Add the orange food colouring, mixing well.
- Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a medium round nozzle. From the outside of each cake, pipe a small pearl of icing and drag towards the centre. Repeat in a circle until no sponge is visible.
- Cut half a chocolate flake into 12 small pieces, and put one in the centre of each pumpkin. Top with the laces. Crush the bourbon creams, scatter over a tray and lay the pumpkins in the ‘earth’.
