Assorted colors food coloring
1 tube each (4.25 oz.) red and brown decorator icing

Start Cooking

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.



Step 2
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Spoon the batter into 24 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cupcakes comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.



Step 3
Spoon 1/4 cup of vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Snip a small corner off the bag and set it aside.



Step 4
Tint the remaining frosting any colors you desire to use for faces. Spread over the tops of the cupcakes.



Step 5
Using decorator icing, assorted candy, fruit, cereal, and nut decorations, and remaining white frosting, make silly faces on each cake. Serve with a smile!
