Cupcakes

1	box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow or devil's food cake mix
	Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

Frosting and Decorations

2 1/2	cups shredded coconut
	Yellow liquid food color
1	container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
48	brown miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits
24	small orange gumdrops

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Place coconut in resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add about 8 drops yellow liquid food color; seal bag and shake to mix. Frost cupcakes with white frosting. Top with yellow coconut. For eyes, add brown baking bits. Cut orange gumdrops to resemble beaks; place on cupcakes.

How-To

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, just cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I used orange slices and sprinkles for the eyes. Also I added crushed pineapple in the cake, it makes them sooo moist. They are very cute and my niece loved them!

Very easy to make. The only change that I would reccommend is to dye the frosting yellow as well. I did that and that way there is no white frosting peeking through.

These cute little cupcakes were such a big hit with all ages. I added to the recipe by filling the cakes with a lemon curd after baking. By far my favorite spring recipe!
