Candy Corn Mini Trifles

I love, love, love Halloween! So when I came across these I knew that I just had to try them. Besides, we love trifles so this is also right up Aaron's alley as well!
Ingredients:
  • Box of yellow cake mix, plus oil, eggs and water needed to prepare
  • Yellow food coloring
  • 2 (4 serving size) boxes instant vanilla pudding, plus milk needed to prepare
  • Orange food coloring
  • 8 oz tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Candy Corn
Directions:
  • Prepare cake batter according to instructions, adding yellow food coloring during mixing. Pour batter into a 9x13 inch pan and bake and cool according to box directions.
  • Prepare instant pudding according to directions on box, adding enough orange color to make it a bright orange. Place pudding in the refrigerator while you prepare the topping.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the Cool Whip until well blended.
  • Crumble the yellow cake into an even layer in the bottom of each mini trifle bowl. Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and spoon on top of cake layer. Smooth out with the back of your spoon. Pipe whipped topping/cream cheese layer on top with a large star tip. Or, just spoon it on. No one will care.
  • Top with a candy corn.
