Candy corn cupcakes

Okay yesterday I was tempted to do 5 of the best Candy Corn cupcakes, but really couldn’t find much that differed. It seems most people do a packet mix with coloring or use their own vanilla mix with coloring.

In addition many of the cupcakes only featured candy corn decoration, rather than a cupcake that looked like candy corn.

I did though find one that I loved, these candy corn cupcakes from Our Best Bites shows how colorful and fun they can be. Best of all there is a simple recipe on her site along with instructions on how to perfectly pipe the frosting.

Another idea for making your cupcake look more like candy corn is to put the orange food colored batter into the cupcake mix first, then do the yellow. When cooked, peel off your wrapper and turn the cupcake upside down. If you have a large domed top, you may need to slice this off. Then frost the bottom of the cupcake in white frosting. This will give your cupcake a similar shape to your candy corn.

Remember candy corn cupcakes can be a fun option for a non spooky halloween cupcake.

I stumbled across a favorite candy from the 80′s while shopping for Halloween candy this week. Runts fruit candy was one of my favs and it looks great on top of a cupcakes too. The banana candy works perfect for a big smiley face cupcake. Do you remember Runts candy?

Candy Marshmallow Cupcake

I saw a bag of Marpoles marshmallow candy at Toys R Us and thought it would be a fun idea for a cupcake decoration. The candy marshmallow pole has pink, yellow, baby blue, and white stripes. This could be a fun cupcake decoration for a baby shower or birthday party.

The cupcake recipe I used was from Martha Stewart’s lavender iced brownie cupcakes. This cupcake does not contain the lavender frosting, but I did create a thin layer of fondant for the base of the Marpoles marshmallow candy.
