Follow the directions on the back of the box to make the cake batter.
Divide the cake batter evenly into 3 bowls.
In one bowl, mix in a few drops of the orange gel food coloring
In the second bowl, mix in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring.
Put no food coloring in the third bowl (so it is the original color).
Take a spoon, scoop some orange cake batter into the cupcake liners, enough to cover the bottom. Scoop some yellow cake batter on top of the orange batter. Scoop some white cake batter on top of the yellow. This will create a candy corn colored cupcake.
Bake the cupcakes in the oven for 20 minutes.
