CUPCAKES
1 pk Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1 1/4 c Water
1/2 c Oil
3 Eggs
———————–FROSTING AND DECORATIONS———————–
1 c Vanilla frosting
1 1/8 c Candy corn pieces
24 lg Gumdrops
2 sm Red gumdrops
1. Heat oven to 350F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. 2.
In a large bowl, combine all cupcake ingredients at low speed until
moistened. Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour batter into paper-lined
muffin cups. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan. Cool
completely. 3. Frost the tops of the cupcakes with frosting. 4. To
form each body, take a large gumdrop and press a piece of candy corn
into the center at an angle to resemble the beak. Cut each red
gumdrop into 12 thin strips, about 1/4 inch long, and press one strip
below each beak to form “wattle”. Place one completely gumdrop in the
center of each cupcake. To form feathers, arrange about 5 candy corn
pieces in a half circle around the edge of each cupcake, points
toward center.
