Cover the witch cake with stars using cake decorating tip number sixteen, one filled with the green icing, and one filled with the black icing. Using cake decorating tip number three, one filled with white buttercream icing and the other one filled with black icing, pipe in the eyes and use tip sixteen, green icing to pull out the witch's nose. Use tip number one hundred twenty-four to make the brim of the witch's hat filled with the black icing. Use cake decorating tip number forty-seven to make the band for the hat, using the violet icing color. Use cake decorating tip number four to outline and decorate the hat buckle, fill one bag with yellow icing color and the other bag with black icing color. Use cake decorating tip number sixteen filled with the orange icing to pull out the witch's hair.
