Baking

Candy Corn Cupcakes and a Giveaway!

Love these easy peasy cupcakes for Halloween!

Start with your favorite cake recipe, or even a boxed cake mix will do fine.

Whip up a batch of buttercream icing and divide in three.  Leave one batch white, color one batch yellow, and color the last batch orange.

Using tip # 1A by Wilton pipe a layer of yellow icing on each cupcake

add a layer of orange icing starting just inside the edge of the yellow

finally top with a layer of white icing, again starting just inside the edge of the orange

Voila!

Easy as 1, 2 3!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 31 days of baking project.  And I cannot thank you enough for following along and helping me find my purpose and place in the blog world!  Baking is a passion of mine that has been festering for years and I am so glad to have an outlet to share it with you.

My blogging journey has just begun and I sincerely hope you will continue to follow as I share both my love of baking and my passion for creating a welcoming home!

I am so happy to have put together this package of a few of my favorite things as a giveaway today.

Prize consists of 25 pink striped cupcake liners

Culinary Lavender

Balloon Whisk

4 red ramekins (not pictured)

    Ooohhh…please put my name in the hat!

    I have so enjoyed reading your posts. I haven’t commented as much as I would have liked to but I have been reading your every post. There are several recipes that you’ve posted that I want to try. Now that 31 days of posting has eased up maybe I’ll get around to trying some. There seem to always be someone willing to try a new baking item. 🙂

    I love that you changed what you were blogging about – I really do believe that it should be right form the heart, because then you will be happy and it will come out in your writing.

    Way to follow your heart – plus – YUM – look at all the goodness that we would be missing out on if you didn’t!! 🙂

    Maureen, I have enjoyed your blog very much this month and am very proud of your month of baking! I’ve put your blog on my favorites list and you are part of my morning rituals now. However, I believe that I’ve gained 5 lbs just looking at the beautiful pictures. Well Done! Take care,

    These cupcakes are so sweet, but WHO is eating all these baked goods?! If we had a month’s worth of delicious looking sweets in our house we wouldn’t be able to fit through the doors. 🙂
