Candy Corn Cupcakes

Makes 6 Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 6 unfrosted cupcakes
• 1 container of vanilla buttercream
• Orange and yellow food coloring
• Candy Corn
• 12 mini Oreo cookies

Equipment:

• 3 piping bags fitted with large round tips

Instructions:
1. Tint frosting – Divide the frosting into three bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and combine thoroughly. Add yellow to another bowl and combine thoroughly. Leave one bowl untinted. Using three separate piping bags, add one color to each piping bag fitted with a round tip. Twist tops closed and set aside.

2. Fill cupcakes – Using a sharp pointed knife, cut a divot out of the center of each cupcake. Fill each cupcake with white buttercream and one candy corn. 

3. Decorate cupcakes – Add a layer of yellow frosting to the surface of the cupcake. Then add a layer of orange frosting on top of the orange, taking care to not go all the way to the edge of the orange frosting. Finally, add a layer of white frosting and create a point at the top.

Top each cupcake with two mini Oreo cookies for Mickey’s ears.
