Step 2

Blend cake mix 1 cup water vegetable oil and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. Divide cake batter between lined cupcake tins.

Step 4

Make the sugar glass. Mix 2 cups water 1 cup corn syrup white sugar and cream of tartar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Use a candy thermometer and boil sugar syrup until temperature reaches 300 degrees (hard ball) stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken as water evaporates. When sugar reaches 300 degrees quickly pour onto a metal baking pan. Cool until completely hardened. Break into \shards\ using a meat mallet.
