Directions

1)      Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F for metal and glass pans (325 F for dark or non-stick pans).   Grease the sides and bottom of the cupcake pan and place the cupcake holders within each hole.

2)      Blend the cake mix, water, oil and eggs into a large bowl at a low speed for about 30 minutes or until moistened.  Then beat at medium speed for an additional 2 min.  Then take a spoon and scoop out the batter evenly into each cup until all of the batter is gone.

3)      Put the pan into the oven and let it bake for 18-21 minutes.  After the baking time is done take out the cakes and insert a toothpick into the center of one of the cakes and if it comes out clean then its ready if not set the pan back into the oven for 5 more minutes.

4)      Let the pan cool for 10 minutes then add the white frosting to each of the cupcakes.  Take out the candy strips and insert the ends of the strip to the opposite sides of each of the cupcakes for the rim.

5)      Then decorate the rest of the cupcake with the jelly beans and sprinkles however you like and enjoy!
