Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

  • 1 15.25oz box of yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • cup oil
  • 1 cup water

For Decorating

  • Can of yellow frosting
  • Yellow decorating/sanding sugar
  • Orange decorating Icing
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • 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.
