Hi all, I thought I’d post
this fun and cute turkey cupcakes recipe and how-to before Thanksgiving
starts. This will especially come
in handy if you are looking for a cute way to spruce up your dessert this
holiday season, and your guests are sure to gobble them up in no time!
What you'll need:
2 12-Cupcake pans
24 cupcake liners
1 cake mix box of your
choice
1 tub of chocolate frosting
1 22oz. bag of candy corn
1 small tube of black frosting
1 small tube of white
frosting
1 Ziploc bag
1 offset spatula
1 red Fruit by the Foot
roll
Step by step:
- Pre-heat your oven according to package’s directions
- Prepare cake mix according to package’s directions and line pans with cupcake liners
- Pour batter halfway into each cupcake slot
- Bake according to package’s directions or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Evenly frost the tops of each cupcake with tablespoon amount of chocolate frosting using an offset spatula
- Fill a Ziploc bag with frosting and cut a small hole at the tip
- Using the filled bag, pipe the head of the turkey on one side of the cupcake by squeezing and holding in place (until you have your desired size).
- On the opposite side of the head, pipe a line- curving with the cupcake, approximately 2 inches (where the tail feathers will go)
- Place 5-6 candy corns with the white tips going into the cupcake and the flat yellow side sticking out- and they will naturally fan out
- Take one candy corn and cut the white and orange part off and place in the center of the chocolate head to create the beak

- Using white icing, dot 2 white spots until you have reached your desired size. Flatten out any sharp points with your finger
- Squeeze a dot in the center of each white eye using black icing to create the pupils
- Cut a small rectangular piece off of a Fruit by the Foot roll and place half above the beak, letting the other half dangle
And voila! There you have
it! A simple, easy and adorable
way to make innovative Thanksgiving treats for your next holiday party. Hope you found this recipe easy to follow and helpful and that you
