Doughnutsprep time: 45 Minutes

Bake: 10 Minutes Refrigerate: 1 hour 26 mini doughnuts

1 In medium mixing bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter and the eggs until smooth. Stir in milk, sour cream and vanilla with whisk. Stir in flour, 11/2 teaspoons cinnamon, the cream of tartar and baking powder just until the mixture is moistened.

2 Grease medium mixing bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour.

3 Heat oven to 450°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. You will bake the doughnuts right on the parchment paper. Place dough on a counter or another surface generously sprinkled with flour. Roll dough in the flour to coat. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough with floured 13/4-inch round cookie cutter. Place the dough rounds on the parchment paper–lined cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Cut out centers of the rounds using floured 3/4-inch round cutter to make doughnut shapes. Reroll scraps and centers to cut additional doughnuts.

4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of the doughnuts just turn light golden brown. With pancake turner, immediately remove from cookie sheet and place on cooling rack. Cool 3 minutes.

5 In small bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon. Place 6 tablespoons melted butter in another small bowl. Using 2 forks, quickly dip both sides of each warm doughnut into butter; let excess drip off. Using spoon, roll each doughnut in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Return doughnuts to cooling rack. Serve warm.

ready-to-spread frosting Sugar 48 large yellow, orange and/

or red gumdrops (from 10-ounce package)

Black decorating icing (from 4.25-ounce tube)

Red decorating gel (from 0.68-ounce tube)

UtensilsLarge mixer bowlLiquid-ingredient measuring cupTwo 12-cup muffin pansPaper baking cupsPot holdersCooling rackSpoonRolling pinRulerSmall sharp knife

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray a regular-size muffin pan or line with paper baking cups in pan. In large mixing bowl, prepare cake mix using water, oil and eggs as directed on the cake mix box (amounts will be on the box). Bake as directed on box for cupcakes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

2 Stir 15 drops food color into frosting until bright yellow. Frost cupcakes.

3 To form sun rays, lightly sprinkle sugar on work surface and rolling pin. Roll 4 gumdrops at a time into flat ovals about 1/8-inch thick. Using sharp knife, cut thin sliver off top and bottom of each oval to make rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half crosswise to make 2 squares; cut each square diagonally in half to make 2 triangles. Arrange 8 gumdrop triangles around edge of each cupcake for sun rays.

4 Using small writing tip on black icing tube, pipe sunglasses onto each cupcake. Using red gel, pipe smiling mouth onto each cupcake.

Roll and cut the sun rays ahead of time so you can easily assemble the cupcakes. If you want brighter yellow frosting, try using gel food color instead of liquid.
