Candy Corn Cupcakes

So I know I'm a little late in posting this being that today is Halloween but as Im sitting here in between trick-or-treaters I thought it would be a good time to post the most easiest and cute recipe yet. Candy Corn Cupcakes,

Ingredients are as follows...

1 box of white cake mix

Vegetable Oil 

Eggs

Water

Vanilla frosting (Not pictured)

And food coloring (red and yellow)

I didn't specify to the amounts of each product because you go by the directions on the cake mix and it varies.

The first step is pouring the cake mix into a large bowl..

Add the eggs...

Water...

Oil...

And combine until free of clumps...

Once the mix is made, separate the batter evenly into two separate bowls...

Color one bowl orange... usually about 2 red and 10 yellow

And color the other bowl yellow... Obviously just yellow

Once the colors are made line two cupcake trays with a light colored liner. (you don't want an opaque liner because then you cannot see the colors)...

Start with the yellow batter and add a tablespoon of batter into each cup...

Once all the liners have some batter in them even them out with the remaining yellow batter until it's gone...

Do the same with the orange batter until all are topped and you cannot see any yellow mix. 

Bake them in the over according to the instructions on the cake mix... 

Meanwhile spoon the frosting into a ziplock bag and get rid of all the air holes...

When the cupcakes are done take them out of the oven and let them cool. (I put them on a cooling rack because I had limited time and I needed to get them frosted)...

See how you get the nice yellow and orange look? Now time to add the white for the topping. Cut a little corner off the bag of frosting and in a circular motion squeeze a small amount of frosting into the middle of each cupcake...

That's it! seriously how easy can these be? And on top of that everything was store bought so it was quick as well. Obviously you can make these the real way with a homemade vanilla cake recipe but I didn't have time and it doesn't really matter for a cake like this. When complete these are truly an adorable treat that will excite anyone that sees them... Enjoy!
