Halloween Owl Cupcakes

With little effort you can have a festive chocolate  dessert!

What do you need? 

Your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe

Your favorite chocolate frosting

Cupcake liners

Oreo's 

Reese's Pieces or M&M's

Acorns (Optional)

The picture is pretty self-explanatory in how to complete the owl. The one suggestion I do have is to add frosting to the back of the Reese's or M&M's.

Change the color of the eyes, nose or use an acorn for the nose to change it up! 

Rainbow Cake

This RAINBOW CAKE is delightful! On the outside, it looks like a normal everyday cake but once you cut into the cake it shows a wonderful array of colors that makes it even more appetizing to the eyes! 

I'll be honest and say that I was taunted by the idea of making this cake batter by scratch so I just bought two white colored cake mixes so help save on time! By scratch or by cake box, this cake is waaay fun and has a lot of room to decorate creatively! 

Ingredients

• 2 white colored cake mixes 
• I used french vanilla
• Green, Blue, Yellow, and Red Food coloring
• I used partial neon food coloring to make the cake more vibrant
• 3 cans of white frosting
• I used cream cheese
• Colored candy to decorate-skittles, smarties, gummies
• I used edible candy dots that I found at Michaels Craft Store

Instructions

1. Prepare cake batter as instructed on back of cake box.
2. Separate batter into three different bowls which was about 1 1/2 cups per bowl. It may vary depending on cake mix.
3. Add separately blue, green and purple to bowl and mix well. (The more food coloring the brighter or use neon colors)
4. Grease round cake pans and add cake batter.
5. Cook cake batter as directed on back of cake box.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for colors red, orange and yellow
7. Allow cake to cool
8. Add purple to cake stand and apply frosting to top of the purple cake. (I placed my frosting in the microwave for a few minutes which made it easier to spread on cake tops)
9. Place blue cake on top of purple and apply frosting to the top of the blue. Repeat until all layers are placed on top of each other. (Bottom-Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red-Top)
10.  Cover top and sides of cake with remaining frosting
11. Decorate as desired
12. Enjoy!
