Time 2h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1/4 cup green, red and white candy sprinkles
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
Betty Crocker™ blue, green, red and brown gel food colors
48 Betty Crocker™ Candy Shop candy eyeballs
1 candied orange slice or large orange gumdrop, flattened, cut into 24 small triangles
3 teaspoons white candy sprinkles
24 miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Stir in 1/4 cup candy sprinkles. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
  • Bake 14 to 19 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Place 1/4 cup frosting each in 3 small bowls, and tint 1 bowl blue, 1 bowl green, and 1 bowl red with food colors. Place 1 tablespoon vanilla frosting in small bowl, and tint brown with food color to desired color. Spoon brown colored frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag, and set aside.
  • On each cupcake, spread 2 teaspoons of the remaining vanilla frosting to cover two-thirds of cupcake; place 2 candy eyeballs, and 1 orange triangle for nose. Cut off tiny corner of brown frosting bag, and squeeze bag to pipe a half circle under nose for a smile. For hat, spread generous teaspoon of blue frosting on cupcake, and immediately sprinkle with white sprinkles on colored edge to make brim. Place 1 marshmallow for pom pom. Repeat frosting for hat and sprinkles with remaining cupcakes and colored frostings (use photo as guide).
  • Store loosely covered at room temperature.
