Ingredients

• 7 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.75 Cups white sugar
• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1.75 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 0.5 Cups whole milk
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) whole milk
• 6 Ounces (oz) cream cheese, cubed
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.75 Cups confectioners' sugar
• 24 Mini chocolate chips
• 12 Red candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)
• 12 Gummi worms
• 0.5 Cups orange candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture in small amounts, mixing well after each addition.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
6. For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well. Add the vanilla extract halfway through.
7. Frost each cooled cupcake with a layer of cream cheese frosting. Decorate each cupcake with 2 chocolate chips for eyes, 1 red M&M® for the nose, and 1 gummy worm for the mouth. Arrange 2 rows of orange M&M's® on top to create the clown's hair.
