Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add cupcake liners to the cupcake pan.
- Add the cake mix to a bowl and mix in the water, oil, and eggs.
- Add the batter to the liners, 2/3 the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until done. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- Add 1 1/2 sticks of butter to a bowl to make the frosting. Mix with a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the 3 cups of powdered sugar and 3 tbsp of milk. Alternate and mix in between until stiff peaks form. Save 1/4 in a different bowl.
- To the larger bowl of frosting, add the yellow gel coloring and to the small bowl, add the orange.
- Take and fill one piping bag with yellow frosting, and the other with orange. The orange should have a smaller tip on it.
- Frost the cupcakes with the yellow. Make a large bottom swirl and then another smaller swirl as you build up. Add the black gel for the eyes and the orange for the feet and beak.
