To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 (or according to box instructions). Line cupcake pans with 24 cupcake liners and set them aside.
Using an electric handheld or stand mixer, place the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water into a large bowl and mix until combined and smooth.
Use an ice cream scoop to divide the cupcake batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
Place yellow frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle such as Wilton #1A and pipe a swirl of frosting on top of each cooked and cooled cupcake.
Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Press two mini chocolate chips into the frosting for the chick's eyes.
Using the orange decorating icing, pipe an upside-down triangle for the chick's beak, upside-down 'V' shapes for its feet, and a squiggle on top.
Enjoy and Happy Spring!
