These cupcakes are great, but make sure when you make the cupcakes you use 1 cup of buttermilk in place of the water and 4 eggs instead of 3. This makes them hold the doughnut hole much better!

These are really kid-friendly! Kids love cupcakes even if they're "plain," so fun decorations just add to their excitement. We made these for Halloween one year, except that we decorated them as ghosts instead of aliens (just use a white icing without food coloring, and omit the licorice antennas, using black piped icing to make eyes and a squiggly mouth). I made them myself the first time, since I don't really care much for messes in the kitchen (OCD... it's a curse!), but the second time we made them, I invited my 5 and 7 year old boys to help decorate them - we all had tons of fun! We shared them with some of the kids in our neighborhood that came over to play one afternoon, and they were such a hit that we had kids knocking on our door for several more days asking if they could have another cupcake. I'll have to keep an eye out for the little plastic cups to store these in... I tried to improvise with a deep baking pan and aluminum foil to keep them covered without ruining them.

Where did you find the clear plastic cups? Did you use another cup for a lid and didn't it fall off? Help would be apprecaited! Thanks! Kathy

If can't find the cups you can go to an ice cream store, such as Dairy Queen, and they will sell you them for 20 cents each.

candy sunflower seeds are sold at Borders bookstore if you have on by you. Also the neon food coloring can be found at michaels or ac moore in the baking aisle.

I know this is way after the fact, but for everyone else McCormick sells neon food coloring that you can find at most grocery stores.

This was such a fun project, my 10 yr old got crazy with decorating the aliens with mini M&Ms;. She customized each one for each of her friends!
