Candy Corn Cupcakes

Instructions for cupcakes

After preparing cake batter as shown on box and preheating oven as directed, add vanilla and hoeny to batter to make it taste a little bit like candy corn.
Divide batter into two separate bowls. Add a drop or two of yellow food color to one and a drop of orange to the other until desired color is achieved.
Fill cupcake molds a little less than 1/2 full with yellow batter, then very carefully pour on the orange batter until molds are 3/4 full. Carefully place the cupcakes into the oven without jarring and bake as directed.

This is a simple scarf that will take only about a week for beginners and 2-3 days for more experienced knitters. The length of the scarf depends on how long you want to make it, but I recommend making the scarf as long as you are. For example, I'm 65" tall, so my scarves are 65" long. This makes a nice, long scarf for everyday wear.

What you'll need
100 yards each of yellow, white and orange yarn
Regular straight needles that match your yarn size

Instructions
Cast on 20 stitches with yellow yarn and knit until the piece is 6" long. At this point, count the rows and write that number down. This way, you'll always have the exact same size patches.
Switch to the orange yarn and again knit the same number of rows that you did with the yellow yarn. This should bring the piece to 12". Again, add white yarn and knit 6 inches.
Repeat this process until the scarf reaches a desired length, then cast off.

If you want to make your scarf even cuter, use the remaining yarn to create a 6" long fringe (twelve inch long pieces folded and attached to scarf) and slide orange, yellow, and white beads onto the fringe. Secure the beads by tying two knots underneath the bottom beads.

Beware: while you may not spook anyone while wearing an adorable candy corn costume, you just might be gobbled up by serious candy lovers.
