Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 10-inch fluted pans; set aside.
Prepare cake mixes according to package directions, adding 1 t. almond extract to batter. Divide batter into 3 equal batches. Tint each batch with food coloring, making one batch lighter, then the next batches each a little darker. Alternately, swirl the 3 different colors of batter in prepared pans. Bake according to package directions. Let cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans; cool completely.
Meanwhile, slowly whisk together powdered sugar, cream, vanilla and 1 t. almond extract. Tint frosting with orange food coloring until desired color is reached.
If necessary, trim flat side of each cake to make even. Place one cake, rounded side down, on a platter. Spread the flat surface with about 1/4 c. frosting. Top with remaining cake, rounded side up. Pour icing over the top of the cake and allow icing to drip down.
To make the stem green, melt 1/2 c. canned green frosting. Dip cone into frosting; let stand until dry. Let remaining frosting cool to room temperature to use for the leaves and vines, if desired. Top cake with the up-side-down green ice cream cone as the stem.
If desired, transfer green frosting to a piping bag that has been fitted with a large leaf tip. Pipe leaves around the stem. Switch large leaf tip to a small open tip and pipe vines, as desired.
24 servings.
