I know this will sound stupid but I want to be sure that this doesnt
blow up in my face (literaly). How do you make a simple circuit
consisting of capascitors to increase the volatage in a 12v DC supply?

Thanks

You can't unless some switching is involved.

ok, so could you explain this in lay man's terms?

Ok, You need to give more information.

"more voltage" means what ??

Are you looking at getting 100 volts from 12v DC.

Are you looking at getting 12 v DC at a special load. ( only known by you)

Are you looking at doing a homework assignment only known by your
professor ?

If you want an complete answer, ask a complete question.

What do you expect ??

Mind reading ??

The obvious way to do it is to charge a whole load of caps in parallel
and then put them in series.
However, it's normally done with an inductor charging and then being
disconnected from its supply, whereupon the voltage rises to the desired
level and is tapped off. This is done thousands (millions?) of times a
second for a smooth flow using transistor switching.

Not trivial from your POV.
