Trick or Treat cupcakes:

2-3 containers of vanilla frosting

1 box cake mix (makes 12 standard cupcakes + 24 mini cupcakes)

-Start with yellow then add red in same bowl to make orange once you've bagged the yellow frosting in your plastic zip-locked sandwich bag

“Trick” Brain Cupcakes:

-12 vanilla cupcakes

-Splashes of red food coloring

Flip plastic bags inside out

Fill all 4 bags with colored frosting

At this point, you should have one of each:

1. yellow

2. orange

3. white

4. "brain matter" white

Cut 1/4 inch off corner tip of bag

ASSEMBLY: 

Candy Corn cupcakes: (BEHIND THE APRON: Remember to do this as an assembly line! Frost all of your cupcakes yellow, then orange, then white!) 

Squeeze the frosting colors and top with a piece of candy corn

Brain cupcakes: (BEHIND THE APRON: First, divide the cupcake into hemispheres!) 

 

1. Pipe a line on the "right hemisphere" away from your body, swooping around the edge of the cupcake, making an open smiley face.

2. Squeeze a swirl in the middle of the smile like a snake, making sure that the sides do not overlap, but snug next to each other.

This may take a few tries! 

But no worries, your friends and family will love them because you put in the effort!!
