1. Line a tray with parchment paper or foil & place the wire rack on top. Place your doughnut on the rack & press the 2 candy corns, vertically, into the top of the doughnut like ears. Open the frosting (make sure you remove the foil circle) & microwave the container for 30 seconds. Stir & then microwave for 30 seconds more. The frosting should be thin & pourable. Spoon the chocolate frosting over the doughnut & protruding candy corns in a circular motion. Pour several coats if needed to cover the candy & top & most of the sides of the doughnut (don't worry about the bottom). Let sit about 20 mins to solidify.
Note: As you can see, the excess frosting will fall through the rack to the tray below. After the doughnut decorating is all done & solidified you can scoop the fallen frosting up & put it back in the container.
2. Unwrap the Tootsie Roll candies & flatten them out with your fingers. Cut 3 tiny triangles from the pink. Stretch 2 of them into long triangles & put them on the ears of the chocolate-covered doughnut. Slightly round the bottom of the last triangle & place it on the front of the doughnut for the little mouth (a toothpick might help with the placement). Using one side of a small round cutter, cut half a circle in the lemon candy & then cut another, opposing, half circle just under it (see image above) to create an eye. Repeat this for eye #2 & form the pieces a little bit to more closely resemble Kuroneko's eyes. Next, place both eyes on the front of the doughnut, close together.
3. Remelt the frosting in the microwave for a few seconds & then dip a toothpick in the chocolate & carefully draw a vertical line down the center of each yellow eye to create the thin pupil (refer to photos). If you have chocolate jimmies (sprinkles) find 4 long ones & stick two on either side of the cat face (I didn't do this for Kuroneko, but did for Jiji shown at the bottom of this post).
