These Candy Corn Cupcakes are Perfect for Halloween

— October 27, 2011 — Lifestyle
These vibrant Candy Corn Cupcakes are sure to make Halloween-lovers everywhere scream with delight. Candy Corn is synonymous with this ghoulish holiday, so it seems appropriate to devote an entire cupcake to this festive confection. Created by the talented baker behind the drool-worthy food blog The Sugar Turntable, these sumptuous snacks carry a technicolor surprise inside.

Keeping with the outrageous color pallet of candy corn, the inside of these petite cakes is a layered candy corn motif with yellow, orange and white icing.

The Candy Corn Cupcakes are topped with a dollop of white icing and, appropriately enough, a single candy corn.

Sure to put a smile on your trick-or-treaters' faces this Halloween, these Candy Corn Cupcakes are an adorable way to get into the spirit of this horror-happy holiday.
