Clown Cupcakes Recipe
  • Prep: 2 hours Bake: 20 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 24 Servings
120 20 140

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 3 cans (16 ounces each) vanilla frosting, divided
  • Yellow, red and blue paste food coloring
  • 24 ice cream sugar cones
  • Assorted candies: M&M's miniature baking bits, red shoestring licorice and cherry sour ball candies

Directions

  • Prepare and bake cake batter according to package directions for cupcakes. Cool completely on wire racks. Divide two cans of frosting among three bowls; tint with yellow, red and blue food coloring.
  • For clown hats, use a serrated knife or kitchen scissors to cut 2 in. from the open end of each cone. Frost cones with tinted frosting; decorate with baking bits. Place on waxed paper for 30 minutes or until frosting is set.
  • Frost cupcakes with remaining vanilla frosting. Leaving room for the hat on each cupcake, make a clown face and hair with candies. Pipe a matching ruffle on each. Carefully position a hat on each cupcake. Yield: 2 dozen.
