Ingredients
Cupcakes:
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 1/2 cups cola
3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
Frosting:
2 cans ready-to-spread white frosting
20 drops yellow food coloring
10 drops red food coloring
1 1/2 teaspoons orange extract
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Garnish:
48 candy worms
1/2 package chocolate cookies, crushed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place cupcake papers in muffin pans. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, cola, eggs, and oil. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl often. Fill cupcake papers 2/3 full with cake batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on cooling racks before frosting.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine frosting, food colorings, orange extract and sifted powder sugar. Spoon frosting into a pastry bag or zip-top bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round decorating tip. Pipe the frosting on the cupcake by starting at the outside edge, circling twice and than working toward the center.
- Finish cupcakes by sticking 2 candy worms into frosting and sprinkling tops with crushed cookies.
