Candy Corn Cupcakes
Posted: October 8, 2010 Filed under: Cakes/Cupcakes, Dessert, Halloween, Holiday Recipe 10 CommentsAhhhh LOVE these from the Rookie Chef. They mimic candy corn perfect and are easy to make!
ENJOY!
Ingredients:
One batch of favorite vanilla cupcakes
Yellow food dye
Orange food dye
Buttercream as white as you can make it
Directions:
Make batter. Split in half and dye one batch yellow and one orange. Very carefully fill a 1/4-1/3 of the cupcake liner with yellow batter. Then carefully pour on the orange to fill to 1/2-3/4 full. Bake according to directions.
Let cool.
Make buttercream. Place a dollop on top and voila, candy corn cupcakes.
Best as minis or small cupcake size!

And yours look adorable by the way š
omg that is so cool. thanks for letting me know!!!
You’re welcome! I was suprised too. Just stumbled upon it!
These are adorable! Another “keeper”!
Okay, I have tried these twice and the layers will not stay separate! They are still cute and fun, but I am so frustrated with them not looking the way they are supposed to!!! Any suggestions? I poured the orange batter on slowly and carefully and it seemed to rest on top, but as they bake, they mix up some. Pouring it on quickly doesn’t work either – immediate mixing. Wondering now about putting in fridge to set yellow before adding orange on top…. ??? Hoping to make them again next week for a party, so any help would be appreciated!
hmm not sure..i know i carefullly pour in the first layer, and smooth out, then carefully put on second layer and carrrrreeefullly smooth it out. dont tap pan on counter at all…carefullly place in oven with very little movement.
not sure what else you can do
