Fall Pumpkin Cupcakes - Halloween Recipes for Kids

By Denise Witmer, About.com

These are a fun treat and a great idea for a fall harvest party.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Any flavor boxed cake mix
  • Ready-made white icing
  • Red and yellow food coloring
  • Green gum drops; one per cupcake
  • cupcake papers

Preparation:

Make cupcakes according to the cake mix directions. Try to fill the cupcakes higher than called for, but not too high. Allow them to cool fully. Mix white icing with red and yellow food coloring to make a pumpkin orange color. Start with 3 drops red and 4 drops yellow. Mix well. Continue adding from there if needed.

Spread icing on cupcakes and push a green gum drop in the center. Enjoy!
