1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
McCormick Assorted Food Colors & Egg Dye*
1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting

Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack.
Tint frosting orange using 1/4 teaspoon yellow food color and 1/8 teaspoon red food color.
Attach a mini donut to cupcake with some frosting. Frost entire donut and top of cupcake. Press ridges into the frosting with a small knife to resemble a pumpkin. Use a gum drop for the stem.
*For easier measurement, 1/4 tsp. Food Color = 20 to 25 drops
