Decorate cupcakes with rolled-out gumdrops for a cute and sweet touch.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Butter Recipe Yellow Cake Mix or 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • Water, butter or vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • Yellow food color
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • Powdered sugar
  • 48 large yellow, orange and/or red gumdrops
  • 1 tube (4.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating icing
  • 1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ red decorating gel
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans) and line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups. Prepare cake mix according to box instructions for 24 cupcakes. Bake as directed. Allow cupcakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. Let them cool completely for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Mix 15 drops of food color into frosting until vibrant yellow. Spread the frosting on cupcakes.
  • Dust work surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar. Roll 4 gumdrops at a time into 1/8-inch thick flat ovals. Trim top and bottom of each oval to create rectangles. Cut rectangles in half crosswise to form squares, then cut squares diagonally to make triangles.
  • Place 8 gumdrop triangles around the edge of each cupcake to create sun rays. Use a small writing tip on a black icing tube to draw sunglasses on each cupcake. Add a smiling mouth to each cupcake using red gel. Refrigerate until serving time, and store covered in the refrigerator.
