I saw this fun cupcake Jack O lantern cake at Kraftfoods.com. The diagram for the cupcake pattern is on their website www.kraftfoods.com. What a great family project for even the youngest bakers!
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
4 drops yellow food coloring
1 drop red food coloring
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar, sifted (4 to 4-1/2 cups)
1 Tbsp. green colored sugar
5 OREO Cookies, divided
2 JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows, cut in half
Make It
PREPARE cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes, blending dry pudding mix into batter before spooning into prepared cups. Cool completely.
BEAT cream cheese, butter, vanilla and food colorings in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until well blended.
ARRANGE cupcakes on large platter to resemble a stemmed pumpkin as shown in diagram; frost with cream cheese mixture. Use colored sugar to fill in the stem. Add 2 cookies for the jack-o'-lantern's eyes. Crush remaining cookies; sprinkle over cake for the mouth. Arrange marshmallow halves in mouth for the teeth. Keep refrigerated.
