Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Creamy White Frosting
  • 1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel
  • 1 cup assorted small candies (tiny jelly beans, candy corn, etc.)

Directions

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans).
  •

    3
    To decorate each cupcake, spoon about 1 tablespoonful frosting on top of each. With back of spoon, spread frosting into shape of light bulb to look like skeleton head. While frosting is still wet, decorate with gel and candies to make skeleton face. Store loosely covered.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Bake the muffins in decorative paper baking cups found at party stores or cake-decorating supply stores.
  • tip 2
    You can freeze the unfrosted cupcakes up to three months ahead. Frost and decorate the frozen cupcakes, and let thaw at room temperature.
  • tip 3
    Assorted candies can include tiny jelly beans, candy corn and other colorful or black candies. Candy shops and grocery stores featuring bulk candy allow fun choices in small amounts for tasty decorations!
  • tip 4
    If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
