Pumpkin Candy Corn Cupcakes

This is one of those "so simple its silly" sort of recipes! Kevin's sister and I wanted to bake something yesterday, and after pinteresting a while I found two wonderful recipes! Since I couldn't decide between the two, I went with both! I found the pumpkin cupcake recipe here and the idea for the decorative candy corn center here

See how there is a little frosting candy corn inside?! Its so cute! A surprise center is perfect for halloween!

Best of all- Only just a few ingredients needed!

First for the cupcakes.
Although Kevin's family didn't believe me when I said the recipe took ONLY a white cake mix and can of pumpkin...they asked me to read it again.

Thats right, nothing else. None of the other things like oil or eggs that you would normally add!  Just mix the two together, then spoon it into cupcake liners.

If you can shake it around, and make them a bit less lumpy, that way the thickness wont affect the overall outcome.

Yes it does a bit like baby food at this point.

Now after baking it for the same time as the box. Let it cool....all the way! It is VERY moist, so you don't want it to fall apart when you cut into it.

Then get a sharp knife, and cut into the cupcake at an angle.

Then fill it up with colored frosting! White on the bottom, orange, then yellow! I used plastic bags with the tips cut off to pipe it into the cupcake. (I got so into it...I forgot a picture.)

Put the top back on (cut off a bit of the bottom piece, to make it fit on there right) then put a smidgen of frosting on the top (to cover up where you cut the top off). You don't need much...you must remember it is filled with frosting!

Then add a candy corn- so everyone knows it is special!
