Receta Candy Corn Cupcakes
Our grandson is going to stay for the weekend and I always like to have a treat for him. Sometimes he helps me "cook" something and other times he doesn't. With Halloween a few days away, I made him these fun, fast and festive cupcakes. He loved them:)
I found this recipe at McCormick Spices. My candy corn cupcakes didn't have the festive two-toned color contrast that the picture did on the McCormick website but I know what I did wrong....the next time I make cupcakes with two different color layers, I will gently make a small indentation in the top of the first color and gently spoon the second color into the indentation.
Candy Corn Cupcakes are fun, festive and delicious~
