Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes

Livin’ up the Thanksgiving Table by having the kids help to recreate their very own Turkey Cupcakes!

What You Need to Make Turkey Cupcakes

• White Cake Mix (and ingredients listed on box)
• Chocolate or Fudge Icing
• Candy Corn
• Yellow M&M’s
• Candy Eyes
• Mini Cupcake Liners
• Mini Cupcake Bake Pan
• Icing Pipping Kit (optional)

How to Make Turkey Cupcakes Step by Step

Start by preparing your cake batter according to box instructions.
Fill your cupcake liners ½ of the way full.
Bake cupcakes according to box instructions

TIP: I only baked mine for 15 minutes, rather then the recommended 19 minutes. Just pay close attention not to overbake, otherwise you’ll have dry cupcakes.

After baking let cool completely.

If you choose to use a icing pipping kit, fill your icing bag with your chocolate icing.

I started in the middle and just added one large dot of icing, on to each cupcake.

Next add four candy corns (top of the corn in icing) to your cupcake as shown.

Add two candy eyes.

Finally, add a yellow M&M for the beak.

Serve and enjoy!
