Thanksgiving Treat Ideas: Tom Turkey Cupcakes

November 14, 2012 by Nicole

Tom Turkey Cupcakes

Candy corn plumes and shortbread wings turn cupcakes into irresistible turkey sweets for Thanksgiving.

What you’ll need:

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

How to make it:

  1. Frost the cupcake, then press in a cookie head and 2 cookie wings.
  2. Press in a row or two of candy corn tail feathers.
  3. 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.
  4. For a beak, cut the white tip from a piece of candy corn and press it in place.
  5. 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.
