I made these for Cole’s class to celebrate his birthday. After I decorated them I noticed that I put the candy corn on backwards…lol

Ingredients

• 1 package ( 18 1/4 -oz ) lemon cake mix
• 1 can ( 16-oz ) vanilla frosting
• yellow food coloring
• miniature semisweet chocolate chips, red shoestring licorice and candy corn
• I used this cupcake recipe for the cupcakes: http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/7514127/best-banana-cupcake/
• I also used red gel for the mouth.

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare and bake cake batter according to package directions for cupcakes; cool completely.

In a small bowl, tint frosting yellow. Frost cupcakes. Press two chocolate chips into each cupcake for eyes. For mouths, cut licorice into 1-inch pieces; bent slightly to curve. Press one licorice piece into each cupcake. Add candy corn around edges of cupcakes. Yield: 2 dozen.
