Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven). Place the cupcake liners in the muffin pan.

Prepare 500 g of FunCakes cupcake mix according to the package instructions. Add FunCakes Pumpkin Spice herb blend to the batter to taste. Fill the liners two-thirds full with the batter and bake the cupcakes for about 19 to 23 minutes. If you have leftover batter, bake a second batch.

Prepare 150 g of FunCakes Enchanted Cream® mix according to the package instructions and add some FunCakes Pumpkin Spice flavor paste. Transfer part of the cream to a piping bag fitted with tip #1M and pipe swirls on the cupcakes. Sprinkle some of the swirls with a bit of FunCakes Pumpkin Spice herb blend.

Divide the remaining cream into two portions and color one orange and the other light beige using FunCakes Orange and Teddy Brown coloring gels. Transfer the creams into two piping bags fitted with tips #4B and #6B and pipe small pumpkins onto the cupcakes.

Color the remaining beige cream dark brown and use it to pipe small stems on the pumpkins.
