Recipe: Candy Corn Cupcakes (using cake mix)

Desserts - Cakes
CANDY CORN CUPCAKES

"Inspired by Halloween's signature candy, these bright cupcakes feature vibrant layers of orange and yellow cake topped with creamy white frosting and sprinkles."



1 (2-layer size) package white cake mix
2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
McCormick Assorted Food Colors & Egg Dye
1 (16 ounces) container vanilla frosting
Assorted decorations, such as orange sprinkles and candy corn

Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding vanilla.

Divide batter in half. Tint one batch yellow with 1/3 teaspoon yellow food color. Tint second batch orange with 1/4 teaspoon yellow food color and 1/8 teaspoon red food color.

Fill each paper-lined muffin cup 1/3 full with yellow batter. Gently add orange batter on top of yellow batter, filling each muffin cup 2/3 full.

Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack.

Frost cooled cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles and candy corn.

TEST KITCHEN TIP:
For easier measurement, 1/4 tsp. Food Color = 20 to 25 drops

Makes 24 (1 cupcake) servings
