How to Make a Halloween Pumpkin Frosting Board
Step 1
On a large tray or serving board, spread the orange frosting into the shape of a pumpkin. You can make one large pumpkin or several smaller ones, depending on your tray size and guest count. Smooth the frosting with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to get an even surface.
Step 2
Add two candy eyes to give the pumpkin character. Use black frosting to pipe a nose and a mouth; simple shapes work best and are quick to create. Break a graham cracker into a short piece and place it at the top to resemble a stem or trunk. If you like, add small frosting vines or leaves for extra detail.
Step 3
Arrange cookies, graham crackers, and any other dunkables around the pumpkin on the board. Vary the shapes and textures—round cookies, pretzels, and chocolate pieces all make attractive and tasty companions. Fill in gaps with small candies or extra frosting accents to keep the board full and inviting.
And that’s it: a charming Halloween Pumpkin Frosting Charcuterie Board that’s quick to make and sure to be a hit. Serve with small plates and napkins so guests can dip and decorate their own bites.
