If you need a batch of quick and easy cupcakes for a Halloween party, this pumpkin design is the way to go. No need to call a bakery when you can whip up these simple treats in no time. Below you will find a list of supplies and directions for how to decorate a batch of pumpkin cupcakes.

Supplies:

• Cake mix
• Cupcake wrappers
• Orange colored icing
• Green gum drops
• Decorator tool or plastic bag

Directions:

1. Bake your desired flavor of cake mix in the oven according to the directions on the package. Let cool before applying the icing.
2. Make a batch of orange colored buttercream icing. With regular food coloring, you will need to add 3 drops of yellow and 2 drops of red. Repeat the drops if you desire a brighter shade of orange.
