Place a mini donut atop a cupcake to transform it into a dome shape. With a decoration of orange-tinted frosting and gum drop stems you’ll have a bumper crop of mini pumpkins.

Makes 24 (1 cupcake) servings.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 package (18 1/4 ounces) white cake mix
1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
McCormick® Assorted Food Colors and Egg Dye
1 container (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
24 mini donuts
24 green gum drops

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding vanilla. Tint cake batter orange with 1/2 teaspoon yellow food color and 1/4 teaspoon red food color.

2. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack.

3. Tint frosting orange using 1/4 teaspoon yellow food color and 1/8 teaspoon red food color. Attach a mini donut to cupcake with some frosting. Frost entire donut and top of cupcake. Press ridges into the frosting with a small knife to resemble a pumpkin. Use a gum drop for the stem.

Tips

Easy Jack-O-Lantern Cupcakes: Omit mini donuts. Frost cupcakes with orange-tinted frosting. Use candy-coated pieces to decorate the face and green gum drops for the stems.

Test Kitchen Tip: For easier measurement, 1/4 tsp. Food Color = 20 to 25 drops
