Turkey Cupcakes Recipe

While I can’t imagine a cupcake made out of turkey would be tasty, these cupcakes made to look like turkeys are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients
Cupcake of your choice
Chocolate frosting
3 oval shortbread cookies (used Keebler Sandies Right Bites Shortbread)
6 to 10 candy corn pieces
White icing
Black decorators’ gel
Red fruit leather ( used strawberry Fruit by the Foot)

Instructions
Frost the cupcake, then press in a cookie head and 2 cookie wings.
Press in a row or two of candy corn tail feathers.
To make an eye, add a small dot of white icing to the head, then add a dot of black decorators’ gel for a pupil.
For a beak, cut the white tip from a piece of candy corn and press it in place.
To make the wattle, cut a 1-inch square of fruit leather. Roll it into a tube and stick it in place over the beak.
