Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding vanilla. Divide batter in half between two bowls or liquid measuring cups. Each half should be roughly 2 cups. Tint one batch yellow with 1/3 teaspoon yellow food color. Tint second batch orange with 1/4 teaspoon yellow food color and 1/8 teaspoon red food color.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups 1/3 full with yellow batter. Gently add orange batter on top of yellow batter, filling each muffin cup 2/3 full. Bake as directed on cake mix package for cupcakes. Remove from oven, let stand 10 minutes and place cupcakes on a wire rack.
Cool completely before frosting with vanilla frosting. Decorate with sprinkles and candy corn.
