I have a confession … I’m loosing it … “it” being my mind.
For some reason I thought that I came up with a new and brilliant idea … I didn’t … I Googled it … found many images of Indian Corn Cupcakes.
This may be a project that would involve the kids … but let me tell you that those little candies were slipping out of my fingers and onto the floor … some into my mouth. So I’ll leave that decision up to you!
I am sharing my idea anyway … it’s not new or brilliant … but I still like it …
This past summer, I meant to save corn husks from corn on the cob and let them dry … I forgot … so I went to the store and bought some. I did use my glue gun to help hold the husks in place while I tied the ribbon …
Now for the fun part … the cupcakes. This is what you will need … cupcakes, frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a #10 tip, M&M’s (autumn colors or Reese’s Pieces) and a spatula …
Squeeze the frosting across the cupcakes to form the “ear of corn” … fill in with frosting …
Use a spatula (or the back of a spoon) to spread the frosting …
Start arranging the M&M corn kernels … I did lay them on a slant, trying to cover up some of the frosting …
Continue until you fill up the entire ear of corn …
For these three ears of corn I used …
- 9 cupcakes
- 3/4 cup of frosting
- 3/4 cup M&M’s (Reese’s Pieces would work too)
♦ My lesson of the day … don’t store the decorated cupcakes in the refrigerator … the M&M’s change color … it’s not pretty. I learned the hard way … I told you that I was loosing it 
I ♥ your comments!
Ooh. Very nice. And very Indian!
I wonder how Indian corn became “Indian” corn
Thanks for sharing. I never saw “Indian Cupcakes” before, so I appreciate your post!
I am happy to share
Oh my! I love these : )
You really worked hard on these making sure the colours were perfect; and they are!
Thank you … I actually had some extra time and was feeling a little “extra picky” while I was making them
So much work placing the M&Ms. I think I’d end up placing them directly into my mouth. Still, it is colorful and yummy looking.
I admit that a few jumped into my mouth
Those are the cutest things but when I first glanced at them, I was thinking eclairs and not cupcakes. (haven’t had my morning coffee yet)
Looks like alot of work laying them M&Ms. I would run out before I had the first ear / cupcake done. You done a great laying your candy. Now, pass a cupcake please. :}

If I could reach thru this computer … I would gladly pass you a cupcake! The idea of using eclairs is a winner

such a fun idea! I love it! Thanks for linking up! I featured your post in my wrap up http://tidymom.net/2012/thanksgiving-table-ideas/
Have a great rest of the weekend
Thank you for the feature!
Looks yummy.
You must like M&M’s
I think it is brilliant as this is the first time I have seen this created. They turned out adorable and so festive for the Turkey season. I like your color selection on the M and m’s.
Thank you so much
you did a GREAT job. LOVE THEM
Thanks
These are still on my mind and was thinking about them this morning.
I was thinking maybe using Twinkies as the ears. They are small and wouldn’t take much for candy or time to cover them little ‘ears’ of corn
We DO think alike! I thought about using Twinkies, but decided on cupcakes because each ear would serve 3 people. Let us know how your ears turn out
Oh my gosh these are fantastic!! I’ve seen quite a few plays on this idea but yours is the best. Pinning it… NOW! : )
Thank you … I am so flattered!
I’ve nominated you for the Super Sweet Blogger Award today at my site!
You are SOOOOO SWEEEEET !
