candy corn cupcakes

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Like I said in my last halloween post I havent celebrated Halloween since I came to college because of Georgia/Florida!  and in case you have been living under a rock DAWGS WIN!! DAWGS WIN!!! and gators win jean shorts!! pretty much making this weekend the most epic of my college career!!!


However this is not a football blog its a cooking blog so here is a Halloween baking recipe for candy corn cupcakes that I found on pinterest and decided to try! Because who doesnt love cupcakes?

 Ingredients:

• 1 box of Duncan Hines White Cake Mix
• Veggetable Oil 
• 3 Eggs
• Icing
• Red and Yellow Food Coloring
• Yellow and Orange

So little side note here.  My beloved grandmother never made anything from a box and never served anything that was store bought, she made absolutely everything from scratch. EXCEPT all of her cakes were Ducan Hines white cake mix because she always said that she could never make it taste quite as good as they could!!  So I will never ever ever use any other cake mix!

 Follow instructions on boxed cake mix.  

Fun little tip when making cupcakes: use an ice cream scoop for a perfectly portioned amount of cake batter.  Doesnt really work here since youre layering colors though!

split batter into 3 equal parts and dye one orange (yellow + red) and another yellow, leave the last one white.

 pour one layer of ornage batter into cupcake cups

then add a layer of yellow batter

then add a layer of white

ice the cupcakes with white icing after they have cooled.

pour sprinkles into bowl and cover cupcakes by dipping them upside down into bowl.

YAY CANDY CORN!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
