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.
