Easy Turkey Cupcakes

Easy Turkey Cupcakes
Prep 25 min Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 12 baked chocolate cupcakes
  • 12 ounces Chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 mini Oreos
  • 24 mini Candy eyeball (very small)
  • 132 regular Candy corn
  • 6 classic Gummy worms (cut in half)

Steps

  1. 1

    Use your favorite recipe or a box mix to bake your choice of cupcakes. I used my recipe for chocolate cupcakes! Frost the tops of them with chocolate frosting (I used my classic chocolate buttercream frosting) using a frosting spatula or a knife.

  2. 2

    Assemble the turkey’s face by using the leftover chocolate frosting as “glue” to add the eyeballs to the mini oreo. Break off or cut the end of the candy corn for the beak, and cut the end of a red gummy worm off to use as the wattle. I made the gummy worm thinner by cutting off the back half and just using the top part for the wattle.

  3. 3

    Spread a small smear of frosting on the back of the oreo and press onto the center of the cupcake, just a little bit forward from the direct center.

  4. 4

    Use candy corn to create the tail feathers. I used six in the back row and five in the second row. And voila! You’ve got yourself a festive turkey cupcake! Repeat the steps for the remaining cupcakes.
