Turkey Cupcakes

With friends and family here we thought it would be fun to make Turkey Cupcakes. We used Nilla Wafers, candy corn, Twizzler Pull and Peels, mini chocolate chips, cupcakes and chocolate frosting. First you make any type of cupcakes that you want and frost them with brown frosting. Then you put 6-10 candy corns on the back side as the tail feathers, in the cake not just by the cupcake wrapper. You take a Nilla Wafer and you can either lay it down in the middle of the cupcake or kind of set it up on end in the middle, I like setting it up on end better, they look a little cuter. You then take two other Nilla Wafers and put them on the sides kind of standing up so they look like wings. Then take two mini chocolate chips and put some chocolate frosting on the back of them and put them on the middle Nilla Wafer as the eyes. Then you make the waddle with a small piece of Twizzler Pull and Peel.

Here are some pictures of the finished product of each person.

Natalie kind of did whatever she wanted. She had a lot of candy corns and sort of just stuck them all in. It didn't look much like a turkey but it was yummy anyway.


The big kids made some too. This is Auntie Erin's.

Micah (my wonderful husband) He wanted white eyes so he took the white pieces off the candy corns.
