Inspired by the spooky Halloween packaging on the <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/cbi.as\/a0q4e\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fanta mini cans<\/a>, I created these Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes which aren&#8217;t only a perfectly decorated Halloween treat, but also offer a creepy eyeball surprise garnishing each cupcake.<\/p>\n<p>I start by adding a box of white cake mix to a large bowl.<\/p>\n<p>And I add in two mini cans of Fanta Orange.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/halloween-eyeball-cupcakes172.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>I mix everything together gently and then transfer the batter to a cupcake pan I lined with fun metallic cupcake liners.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/halloween-eyeball-cupcakes174.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>I bake the cupcakes according to the instructions on the back of the cake mix box.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/halloween-eyeball-cupcakes175.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Once they&#8217;re done, I pull them out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>Once the cupcakes have cooled, I get to the fun part: decorating!
