This cupcake, inspired by a technique used to make layer cakes comes together with boxed cake mix, colored icing and a few blue chocolate-coated candies. 


If you don't have a pastry bag to make the decorations on top, just fill a zip-top bag and cut a small hole in the corner to pipe lines and circles. 


Use your favorite cake flavor and don't be surprised if this sugar rush inspires another two hours of fast and furious gaming.
