These pumpkin pull-apart cupcakes start with 24 baked and cooled cupcakes arranged into a pumpkin shape. Orange rosettes cover most cupcakes, while green rosettes top the stem, and black stars form the face.

Ingredients

24 cupcakes (baked and cooled, using your favorite cake mix!)

Orange frosting

Green frosting Black icingPiping bagsStar piping tips (we used a larger one for the rosettes, and a smaller one for the face)

Black frosting

Piping bags

Star piping tips (we used a larger one for the rosettes, and a smaller one for the face)

Directions

Bake 24 cupcakes using your favorite cake mix, then let them cool completely.

Arrange the cooled cupcakes into a pumpkin shape, placing 2 cupcakes at the top to form the stem.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with orange frosting. Pipe wide rosettes onto each cupcake except the 2 stem cupcakes. If gaps appear between cupcakes, pipe extra orange frosting to fill them.

Using a piping bag with a large star tip filled with green frosting, pipe wide rosettes onto the 2 stem cupcakes. Optionally, add a small swirl of green icing to resemble a vine.

With black frosting in a piping bag fitted with a smaller star tip, pipe little stars onto the orange cupcakes to create a jack-o'-lantern face.
