Cute Corn-on-the-Cob Cupcakes

I found this on Martha Stewart's website. Aren't these the cutest cupcakes? Jessica and I have decided we are going to make them before the summer is over. I adore cupcakes! YUM!!

INGREDIENTS --

Vanilla frosting
Yellow food coloring
24 Vanilla cupcakes, baked in white paper liners
3 1/2 cups small yellow, cream, or white jelly beans (such as Jelly Belly)
4 pieces yellow fruit chews (such as Laffy Taffy)
1 Tbsp. black decorating sugar
1 Tbsp. white decorating sugar
8 sets of corn holders (optional)

Color the frosting pale yellow with food coloring. Working with 3 cupcakes at a time, frost cupcakes with yellow frosting. Arrange 5 rows of jelly beans, close together, on each cupcake. Place the 3 cupcakes side by side on a corn dish or serving platter to resemble and ear of corn. Repeat process with remaining cupcakes, frosting and jelly beans.

Cut the fruit chews into eight 1-inch squares. Soften the edges slightly by hand so that they look like melted butter. Place 1 square on top of each ear of corn. Sprinkle with sugars. Insert a corn holder in the end of each ear of corn, if desired. Serve.

Makes 24 cupcakes or 8 "ears" of corn.
