Christmas Light Cupcakes

INGREDIENTS
devil’s food cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 oz. (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Black decorating gel
Mini M&Ms

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners. Make cupcake batter according to package instructions and ll liners 3/4 full with batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 18 minutes. Let cool completely.

Make cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Set aside. In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy. Gently fold in whipped cream.

Transfer to piping bag or large Ziploc bag. Frost cupcakes, making sure they are a good height. Trace a black line around frosting with decorating gel.

Stick M&Ms along the black line, imitating rainbow lights.
