Candy Corn Cupcakes






With Halloween a few days away,
why not made these fun, fast and
festive cupcakes.



I found this recipe at McCormick Spices.
My candy corn cupcakes didn't have the festive two-toned color contrast,
that the picture did on the McCormick website but
I know what I did wrong....

The next time I make cupcakes with two different color layers,
I will gently make a small indentation in the top of the first color and
gently spoon the second color into the indentation.
Then bake as usual...
Hopefully that will help....
Does anyone have any other suggestion?
Leave me a comment and let me know:)

Candy Corn Cupcakes are
Fun, festive and delicious.
