Candy Corn Cupcakes

Last Friday Colin's class had a halloween party and I signed up to take mini cupcakes.  These turned out pretty cute.  Colin helped me make them on Thursday - he is a great chef in the kitchen, though he is a little messy.  I didn't get the best pictures and really it's not a recipe but it's a cute idea for fall cupcakes.


Ingredients:
- box of yellow cake mix (eggs, water, oil as called for on the box)
- red and yellow food coloring
- icing
-candy corns

Directions:
- make yellow cupcakes according to directions on box. when i use a box cake mix (which is like 99% of the time) any time it calls for water i substitute milk instead.  it makes the cake really yummy.
- fill cupcake liners 1/3 full of yellow cake mix.
- use several drops of red and yellow food coloring on the remaining cake mix until you get the right shade of orange.  now fill the cupcakes liners with the orange colored cake mix (pour on top of the yellow).
- bake cupcakes according to instructions on the box.
- ice w/your favorite white icing and top with a candy corn.
