To make your cupcakes, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and add the cupcake liner to your muffin tin. In a large bowl, mix cake and cinnamon together, and then add vegetable oil, eggs, and one cup of Fireball Whiskey. Add your mixture to the muffin tin and bake as directed on the cake box.

Making Frosting
To make the frosting, mix butter, half the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1/4 Fireball Whiskey in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until you have a smooth consistency, then add the other two cups of powdered sugar and beat until your frosting is light and fluffy. Stir in the yellow and red food coloring, making sure not to over-mix -- because you definitely want some streaks, right?
Then, pipe your frosting onto your cooled cupcakes and top with a Hot Tamale for decoration. Again, say thank you to Delish, for this amazing recipe.
